A little peek behind the scenes of market life for our neurodivergent family 💙
From the outside, a market day can look pretty simple - set up the stall, talk to customers, sell some biscuits, pack up and go home.
For Koby, there’s so much more happening underneath that.
Being around lots of people, managing noise and movement, making small talk, remembering greetings, please and thank yous, knowing when to respond and what to say - all of those little social expectations can take a huge amount of energy.
Some market days he has the capacity to be involved.
Some days he needs blankets, a pillow, his Switch and somewhere quiet to retreat. Some days he may barely come out from behind the stall at all.
And then there are days like this one, where he had enough capacity to step forward and help serve a customer.
It might look like a tiny moment from the outside, but for us, we know how much went into getting there 💙
That’s one of the biggest things this little business has taught us - progress doesn’t always look the same from one day to the next.
