All About Autism

Hi Mashy,


Actually I think you are right! The familiarity of the routine and the teachers does help! I guess that is why my son can learn Chinese in his current school.

Now that I know that my son actually do know some simple Chinese words in school, I will put this issue aside and focus on his changing school issue 1st. Actually with these recent episodes, my faith is very much shaken and I am not sure if he can make the transition smoothly. The principal will put him on trial so there is a chance he might be kicked out!

Hi Mashy,


So does your son actually learn any Chinese words while he was in berries? You know sometimes our kids may be moving around but they do listen!

Yes. He did pretty well for his P1 and P2 Chinese actually. He is still slower than others in Chinese but it is definitely better with the help of berries.

Like what I always tell pp who ask if berries is good, it is good, just that my son learned slowly. But at least he is learning something there. Could have been worse.

Regarding taking turns, we do it with OT. Started off OT and ST as a combined social group, after that we moved to social skills with OT and speech, compo with ST. We ever did social skills with ST before too, so I guess it's not very clear cut. Now, his OT will try to arrange the session with another kid his age and they will play games together, introducing themselves, saying hello, practising turn taking and cooperation skills. He's getting very good at it already after so many sessions with different boys. Now when he goes to playgrounds, he will introduce himself and ask for the other boy's name. Then they will play together and at the end of it, he will go and way bye. If his sis is around, he will also introduce his sister to them. seriously, you will have no idea this is the same boy who didn't talk to any kids and don't recognize his classmates just a few years back.

I love KKH rehab. Hehehe. With their big number of kids coming in, that's why I think they can arrange such pairing sessions together.

Now the therapists are so satified with his progress, they are thinking how else they can help. He used to hand in a 2 sentence composition to the teacher for his test! Now he can write 3 pages long. Dunno if it's his form teacher's credit or the ST. But oh well. Guess they did manage to teach him some techniques. I just pushed the comprehension headache over to them coz he kept failing them. Hopefully will see some results by end of this year.

Hi Mashy,

Previously you mention you are seeing KKH OT and SLT on monthly basis?

I am really impressed ... 3 pages long. I really hope mine will progress as well as yours.

I think everything plays a part.

There is a dialog on autism and to bring awareness and acceptance on it.

No more already. Now once every 2/3 months for OT and every month for ST.

I'd Google for it, but couldn't find any as well.
I saw it through a private fb group, so simply sharing it over here.

They should have more publicity if they want to create that awareness, esp. to the public and people ignorant about this.
