Our story
In most ways, our daughter was an ordinary toddler. What we noticed, around age two, were two small things: she often didn’t turn when we called her name, and she rarely held eye contact or engaged with the people around her. Her hearing was clearly fine — she’d light up the moment one of her favourite songs came on. We went to that first appointment half-expecting a minor hearing issue, or to be told this was just her pace. Autism wasn’t on our minds.
The assessment itself was thorough and professional. What it didn’t come with was much on what to do next, or what to expect. That part we had to piece together ourselves.
She was ten when we built this site. Since that first appointment we’ve been through early intervention, the school-pathway decision, and the school years that followed — the same road many of you are on. None of it made us experts on autism. It made us experienced in one thing: how this journey actually works in Singapore, as parents live it.
One thing you won’t find here: our daughter’s name or face. The experience we share is ours as her parents; the details that are hers stay hers.
Why “My Miracle Baby”
The name isn’t about a cure, and our daughter doesn’t need fixing. She is the miracle — as she is. Everything on this site is written from that position: neurodiversity-affirming, no pity, and no promises about outcomes that aren’t ours to make.
What you’ll find here
Guides that answer first and explain second — starting with how to get an autism diagnosis in Singapore. A plain-language SG Autism Dictionary for every acronym the system throws at you: EIPIC, SPED, SG Enable and the rest. And honest expectations throughout: real waits, real costs, and what you can do while you’re in the queue.
How we work
The lived-experience layer is always ours — nothing personal on this site is invented or borrowed. The factual layer is verified before it’s published: every scheme, fee and process is checked against primary sources — government sites and the organisations’ own pages — and each guide carries a last-updated date. Figures that change over time carry an “as of” month.
We’re parents, not clinicians. Nothing here is medical advice, and clinical claims are cited to their sources rather than asserted by us. When something changes — and in this system, things change — we correct the page. Spotted an error? Write to info@mymiraclebaby.com.sg. The full version of how we work — fact-checking, corrections, disclosure, and where we stand on medical review — is in our editorial and medical-review policy.
Also from us: Mother & Baby Singapore
Before this site, Wei Chun built Mother & Baby Singapore — a guide for first-time parents in Singapore, from pregnancy through preschool. My Miracle Baby exists because the autism journey needed more than a chapter there; it needed its own home. For general parenting topics, that’s where we’ll point you.
