Our Story
Owen was born at 32 weeks, weighing a tiny 880 grams. He spent 103 days in hospital and I didn’t get my first cuddle with Owen until he was well enough to be moved at 3 weeks and 2 days old.
It has been a very scary, emotional and tough ride on the entire family with countless ongoing doctors’ and therapists’ appointments. This story was written as a way for Owen’s family, especially for Liam, who is two years older than Owen, to understand his little brother. Writing this story of Mighty Owen is also helping Owen to understand the journey he is on.
Owen and Liam have made a huge contribution to the writing of this book. It is helping us a family to better understand Owen’s emotional regulations. In the process we have discovered a way to manage and handle Owen’s Autism, including his anger outbursts. Through this process, Owen has learned just how special he is. He has fought and continues to fight, to be the bravest Mighty Owen who we all love and adore.
