Dear CaringSG Members,
I am a physician seeing Persons with Intellectual disabilities almost daily. I hear many sad and troubling stories and I also hear many inspiring stories of caregivers and individuals.
If it takes a village to raise a child, it will take the entire society to chip in and raise a special one!
Continue to be brave and share with us your highs and lows.
We go through the journey together and together we will be stronger and better!

Teaching children about sexuality and healthy relationships is never an easy task, and for parents of children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the challenges can feel even more overwhelming.
