Until 2014, I considered myself an ordinary mother of an ordinary child. But everything changed when my son was diagnosed with autism. That diagnosis turned my life upside down and marked the beginning of an entirely new journey. While searching for specialists who work with children like mine, I met Maria Koenig — at the time, she had already been deeply involved in this field for four years. Life circumstances and a shared desire to help our children brought us together, and soon we began working side by side. I pursued an education in Applied Behavior Analysis, and we became colleagues, then partners. Today, we co-manage four centers: two in Chișinău, one in Comrat, and one in Bălți. We are constantly evolving, improving the quality of support for children with autism, training new specialists, and continuing to learn ourselves — by participating in professional trainings, seminars, and international conferences.
