Hyeyong Byun and Minji
What does being a mum mean to you?
Being a mum means love! My daughter Minji is autistic, and she sees the world in her own unique way.
Being a mum means loving without conditions, even on the hardest days.
It means being patient, learning, and growing together.
Through Minji, I have learned to see life differently, more slowly, more deeply, and with greater compassion.
Being her mum also means making a promise, a lifelong commitment to be her whole world, just as she is mine.
Being her mum is not always easy, but it is the most meaningful and important part of my life.
What is special about your mum?
Minji’s answer: My mum is special because she loves me.
She helps me and stays with me.
I am autistic, and she understands me in her own way.
She is my whole world.
