Wei Chun, who writes My Miracle Baby with his wife

Written from lived experience

We're parents, just like you.

Our daughter is autistic. We’ve walked the whole Singapore journey: the worry, the assessment, early intervention, and the school decision. We built My Miracle Baby to be the guide we wish we’d had at the start.

Everything here comes from real experience. Where it touches medical or clinical ground, we cite trusted sources rather than assert it ourselves. More about us, or read how we write, check, and correct.
