It is sad to hear about the Tampines case. When my son was first diagnosed, I was lost too. It was like end of world for me, just that I did not translate the thoughts into actions which I am glad I did not do such a stupid thing.


In fact, now I feel blessed that my son only has autism, not other sicknesses.

[quote][/quote]Due to principal's feedback that my boy has no interest in the year-end concert plus they could not spare the manpower to look after him off-stage during Term 4 practices etc. I have pulled my boy out of Term 4 for kindergarten. He has repeated K2 at this kindy and all things considered, decided not to fight this battle. He will prep for P1 in the last term this year and looking forward to next year![/quote]


Hi Dessertwind,

Talking about year-end concert, my son's mainstream pre-school involved all the kids in the concert, including PG and N1. My dear son with his poor coordination and wavering attention/focus is really struggling and I told his main teachers I would like to withdraw him from it if he really can't follow but the teachers say can..can... Let him have fun but I don't really get the fun part of constantly rehearsing day in and day out???!!!!! :scratchhead:

So for your son's case, since he is not interested then I think you are right not to insist. Do update us of his P1 progress. Your feedback means a lot to me as I fear for the uncertainty of my son's future and school choices so every success case in mainstream primary does give me a booster 'jab'!

Parents of 7-yo kids,


The MMR immunization for the child is due soon. While it has not been scientifically proven that MMR is linked to autism, the fact that there is so much literature arguing for and against the hypothesis just makes me feel the jitters in sending my daughter for this booster dose.

What is your take on this and what are your options? Please share. TIA.

I think the study that first 'established' this link has been debunked. A lot of literature probably stems from this study, so you may want to check other independent, recent sources.

My older girl showed signs of her traits even before she had the MMR, so I am sure that it was not a contributing factor in her case. My other daughter took the MMR without any issues, as have all/most the kids/babies in my extended family and social circle. Just my take on this.

Read this report about removing a study that linked autism and vaccines.

I am strongly against vaccination. Our children received other vaccines prior to MMR, and these vaccines may have aggravated underlying issues in our sensitive kids.

One of my younger daughters displayed some symptoms like not responding to being called, less sociability when she was younger. I was so afraid that she would be autistic. I delayed her MMR vaccines till she was about 3.5 and ignored all reminder letters sent to me. Up to the point I was sure she is functioning well was I comfortable in giving her the vaccines.

No government will openly admit vaccines may cause autism... is there anyway we can opt our children out of this immunization process is primary school? I always thought it is comolusory.
