If something doesn’t feel right, seek help early”, Lezel says. Towards A New Normal For Lezel and her family, the journey continues. With hopes of involving more families in future treks, and continuing to raise awareness, she remains a beacon of strength for others. Lezel’s final message to the world is simple. “Create a new normal. One where neurodivergent children are embraced, supported and celebrated, not marginalised. One where we meet difference with compassion, not resistance or apathy”. In a world that still has a long way to go, stories like Lezel’s shine a light on what’s possible when we climb together, one step, one breath, one child at a time. “Trust your instincts. Don’t be in denial. Early intervention made all the difference for us.”
