A Mother's Wish Meltdowns are not inevitable! Www.amotherswish.com.sg To date, AMW has run four holiday programmes during the June and December school holidays.

A Mother's Wish (AMW) is a enterprise that helps autisric individuals (including those with profound autism) by educating and training family and professional caregivers, as well as advocacy. A Mother's Wish (AMW) is a registered social enterprise that organises and subsidises engaging and meaningful activities for individuals with moderate to severe autism (aged six and above) during the school holidays. Our dream is to create a lifelong community that provides affordable activities for autistic youths and adults with moderate to severe autism all year round, all across the island, even after their primary caregivers have passed on. To date, we have been subsidising AMW's holiday programme activities in order to cap each activity per participant at $40, while compensating the service providers, coordinators, and venue hosts adequately. We have raised money primarily through the sales of water colour paintings by Jean-Sebastien Choo, an untrained and unguided artist with autism. He contributes 30% of all sales to AMW. They range in price from $100 to $800; more than 100 paintings have been sold in the last three years. Sebastien is also an AMW participant; thus, he has been doing his part to contribute to the building of the AMW community for his future. For more information:

The EpiEco Project: Making Emotional Wellness of Your Loved One As the Epicenter of the Ecosystem of Caregivers

A Humanity-Centred Mission to Establish A New Gold Standard of Autism Caregiving, One Family at a Time

EpiEco is A Mother's Wish self-formulated autism caregiving model: treating the emotional wellness of autistic individuals as the EPICENTER of the ECOSYSTEM of caregivers. We hope to establish EpiEco as the standard autism caregiving approach, for it inspires everyone (personal and professional) to be our best selves and generates virtuous circles of change. Photos feature our Epicenter, Jean-Sebastien Choo, my profoundly autistic son, who inspires our awesome Ecosystem of caregivers to be our best selves.

This was the mission impossible of the pilot EpiEco project (a total of 40 ninety-minute one-on-one online sessions spread among 10 families over two months) to overturn the conventional autism treatment approach of pushing autistic individuals towards adopting 'normal' behaviours at the expense of their well-being. Rather, EpiEco aims to establish itself as the standard of autism caregiving with these three interrelated steps:

1. Shift away from the idea that your child is going to be 'normal': Get to know them from the inside — their distinctive attributes and their unique communication styles — and love them for who they are.
2. Focus on their emotional wellness: As with all human beings, their potential (whatever it may be) is optimised when they are emotionally well. Help them to discover theirs by focusing on their emotional well-being.
3. Do whatever it takes to discover and maintain a universe where they are emotionally well: Creating an Ecosystem of caregivers being their best selves, committed to and inspired by the autistic loved ones at the Epicenter, is the fundamental minimum.

We can do it, Singapore! Contact Kah Ying to learn more!

Transform Your Connection with Your Autistic Loved Ones: Free One-on-One Caregiver Coaching (Online, June to End-July, 2026, 6 spots left)

What this ONLINE SUPPORT by KAH YING is all about: For caregivers to (1) recognise that raising their autistic loved ones can be a JOYFUL experience and (2) learn HOW to do so through the EpiEco caregiving model.

What EpiEco is all about: a long-term, empathetic, and respectful caregiving approach focused on treating the EMOTIONAL WELLNESS of your autistic loved ones as the EPICENTER of the ECOSYSTEM of caregivers.

What EMOTIONAL WELLNESS means: safety, joy, love, and a sense of belonging — the same for the autistic person and for all of us.

What it is NOT (clarification after speaking to some caregivers): Increased ability to tolerate our sensorily overwhelming environment at their own detriment (which can lead to unhappiness and meltdowns).

This is why with EpiEco, we focus on training caregivers on HOW to
INTERACT WITH (NOT CONTROL) their autistic loved ones with RESPECT, CARE, and JOY.

Before we can look to the OUTSIDE WORLD to embrace our autistic loved ones, we must be willing to CHANGE OURSELVES!

Though he is profoundly autistic, Sebastien, with his artistic talent, has an empowering mission. Through his autism art legacy, he can educate others (no profoundly autistic individuals are NOT crazy), empower (give him the dignity of work true to his being), and sustain his sanctuary (in a supportive environment). Buy a painting or a digital version. Learn more about the mission through a 1-on-1 online session: we would love to share insights, photos, and videos of Sebastien’s sanctuary.

The PROFOUND AUTISM ART MISSION is about changing the public's perspective of profoundly autistic people like Sebastien, my son. No, he is not crazy or weird. He is a one-of-a-kind human being who creates beauty. You don’t have to buy a painting to support this mission. For eg., you can support Sebastien by purchasing affordable, one-of-a-kind digital art featuring inspiring messages and close-ups of his acrylic art: landscape, portrait, and triptych. Let’s change minds together and make the world a better place for the vulnerable! THANK YOU!
