When the Diagnosis Feels Like a Mountain | Autism Parent Encouragement Card, Night Sky

For the parent who just heard the word autism and feels like the climb is too big.

Front: When the diagnosis feels like a mountain you can't climb.

A hand-painted mother in a golden shawl holds her little one under a deep blue night sky and a gold crescent moon. A path of stepping stones climbs across a patterned border toward a tiny mountain, one pebble at a time.

Inside message:
You don't have to climb it. You just have to take the next step. Make the next snack. Sing the next song. Give the next hug. The big picture is too big right now, and that's okay.
Minute by minute. Hour by hour. That's how mountains move, one pebble at a time. You've got this, even on the days you're sure you don't.

The left inside panel is left blank for your own handwritten note.
