Duncan identified stress sources including therapy appointments, school meetings, insurance calls, sleep challenges, and the constant mental load of planning and adjustment. Resilience appears in everyday practices: visual schedules, turn-taking during difficult moments, pre-shopping planning, and celebrating small milestones. Duncan emphasizes resilience is not about stress-free family life but about ongoing adaptation.
“So, the stress is not just one big event; it is often the constant mental load of planning ahead, adjusting in the moment and trying to make daily life work for everyone in the family.”
