Zu | Parent advocate, entrepreneur & storyteller. Turning years of IEP experience into support for families through IEP Compass, Differently Wired, and our family's blog. I lead with grace: we dislike behaviors and bad days, not whole people.https://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.social/post/3mvsorqwqjk2cMy motto is simple: treat others how you'd like to be treated, and give the respect you hope to receive. It all comes back around. #specialeducation #IEPparent #AutismMom #AutismDad18 Sep 2026 17:25 +0000at://did:plc:gpz2eyfq2ggy4nahcdfazbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvsorqwqjk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.social/post/3mvsohhxx422vThat doesn't mean everyone has to be your friend. Some people won't be a good fit, and that's okay. Give people a little grace and a real chance at a conversation, but if it isn't right, don't waste your energy.18 Sep 2026 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:gpz2eyfq2ggy4nahcdfazbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvsohhxx422vhttps://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.social/post/3mvsogpaqqk2vthe happy, fun, good-looking parts. We don't see what's happening behind closed doors, what they were taught, or what kind of day they're having. Everyone is doing the best they can with the story they were handed, and free will is what we do with that story.18 Sep 2026 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:gpz2eyfq2ggy4nahcdfazbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvsogpaqqk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.social/post/3mvsogemd6s2vDislike is a strong word, and I don't think it fits people very well. What we usually dislike is a behavior, a situation, or how someone treated us, not the whole person. We only ever see a small, filtered slice of anyone's life18 Sep 2026 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:gpz2eyfq2ggy4nahcdfazbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvsogemd6s2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.social/post/3mq34pnbvcm2dNo one understands a parent like another parent. We don’t need more people telling us how to feel about our own journey we need each other show support . Show up, listen, hold space. That’s what community is for. #SpecialEducation #IEPParents #AutismMom #AutismDad07 Jul 2026 17:24 +0000at://did:plc:gpz2eyfq2ggy4nahcdfazbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq34pnbvcm2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/zzulivet.bsky.social/post/3mq34mstxtm2dYou never know what someone is carrying just from one post or one moment. Before judging, try asking. Before dismissing, try understanding. This community grows stronger when we choose to help each other instead of tear each other down. #SpecialEducation #IEPParents #AutismMom #AutismDad07 Jul 2026 17:23 +0000at://did:plc:gpz2eyfq2ggy4nahcdfazbb6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq34mstxtm2d
