Over five decades, they have navigated the realities of raising children with Down syndrome and autism—through changing systems, shifting cultural attitudes, and hard-won progress.

​

Through intimate, first-hand storytelling, RAISING US brings these women back into their earliest moments of uncertainty, love, fear, and determination—revealing how their personal journeys mirror a larger cultural evolution.​

​

This is not only a story about raising children. 

It is about being transformed by them.
