Mother-Son Duo Runs A Doughnut HBB
He may not be able to communicate clearly with people around him, but 12-year-old Muaz found his way through food. From handling with sharp knives and preparing calamari at the young age of 11, and now selling homemade doughnuts with his mother, Ms Lydiawati, Muaz is proof that having grit is simply enough to live out your dreams. We spoke to Ms Lydiawati as she shared her son’s journey.The Natural Cook
Ms Lydiawati recounted Muaz’s interest in cooking started when he was 5. She let him help her out in the kitchen, and started preparing simple meals. As he got older, they progressed to much more difficult tasks, and she was amazed at Muaz’s ability to learn fast.Dealing With Challenges
Muaz was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old and faced difficulties in his speech. He speaks very little and his articulation isn’t clear. While he is able to communicate basically and comfortably with his family members, having basic conversations with outsiders is a challenge for him. “I tried letting him order an ice cream cone from McDonald’s without my assistance, but the staff found it difficult to understand his order. I had to intervene by prompting him to point to the picture on the counter instead for the staff to see,” she shared.Journey To Lytmuz Test
Lytmuz Test was born in November 2021, which focuses on simply making IG-worthy and tasty doughnuts. When asked why they chose to sell doughnuts, it was because Muaz seemed to enjoy making it the most after having explored many recipes with him.A Worthy Race
