Wawa,
Right now, i will continue the journey with him in whatever energy i have left ... and i hope all the great parents here will continue the journey with your special ones
Take heart, your children are doing great
I'm seldom lost for words here at KSP but I truly am after reading your post.
I'll like to recommend you this beautiful piano music below. To me, it's therapeutic and gives me a kind of calmness that I need. Hope it does the same for you.

Tks for sharing wawa. I do appreciate my child. I understand how.painful it can be to not receive affection from our children. Your child is still precious and he can still be happy as he has a mummy who really loves him.

Hi Wawa,
After reading your post, I feel that you are a great mom. Keep up the good work! -
Dear Wawa,
As I mentioned to you in PM, special parents are blessed with special strengths and wisdom to care for special kids. I see it as a blessing with one. I learnt alot.
Yes, I panic..I cried...I felt helpless...I felt I did not do enough...I blamed myself alot in countless different ways.
Eventually, I have to stop doing that to myself. I know if I am not standing up and be strong, doing all those above are not helping.
Miracles do happen. Others cannot see it, I do. Every milestone is a miracle and I appreciate every beautiful things around because of mine. She is beautiful too. :love:
It is hard not to make comparison. Even when you don't your family and friends will. I have learnt. I used to feel angry and sad when I compare, now, I try and still trying to buffer off the noise. I do celebrate other children (including my other kids) achievements. I am happy and wish they will progress better, but that has nothing to do, really nothing to do with you and your special child. He is precious and special in his very special way. If you say he is moderate...there must be a comparison right? There must be parents out there dealing with severely autistic child(ren), yet they are standing strong and cheerful. You can draw inspiration from the journeys they have travelled. I do and I do alot of time, again and again. I need new strengths. Read the book \"Come into my world\", you can get it from public lib or there are other testimony books available in lib. Read them. You will know that you are not alone.
It is perfectly fine to have heartaches and cries, to be true, it still happens to me, frequently after all these years. It is essential to have that, because that is a sign of your LOVE for him. Just that the cries, keep it short.
You are a great mom! You are doing what you think is best. That is fantastic! :celebrate:
Some ways I deal with stress parenting mine.
1. Share the burden - By praying to God. By sharing with family members.
2. Have my own Me-time
3. Read inspiration books

Gooby:
Both my boys only started to converse with me properly from age 4 yrs plus. Nowadays, my ear drums always feel like exploding whenever the brothers are playing excitedly with each other.
Hi Hi,
I shall respond to this because it gives me hope since my boy now at 3.5 yo at best can say \"I want water\", \"I want milk\", \"I want raisins\", \"Bye! See you tomorrow!\". And that is after we force him to say what he wants instead of just whining and pointing! Yes, can call \"mummy\" and \"daddy\" and \"aunty\" (my maid) when he wants to but not often. :idea:
Other areas of development seems fine and he can understand what we are saying and his teachers also commented he is quite intelligent. But lose out compared to his Nursery peers for sure just because he is not yet verbal! He is trying very hard to say something but we don't understand him. He is also singing and can follow songs well but cannot pronounced the words accurately.
If I allow myself to worry I would be really sick by now!
I have the 4 yo time-line in mind as well so lets hope there will really be a break-through and one fine day my boy can start to converse with me!

Just wanna say Thanks to everyone here for your kind words & support! It's really nice to have a warm community here with good empathy... Thanks again...
Your encouragement has given me renewed strength to walk the walk, against the odds. Thanks mates! :celebrate: -
Dear Wawa,
I am new to this website too.
I also have a son who is diagnosed with speech delay and behavioural issue. It could be mild autistic from the symptons he had.
He is currently 5 years old too and have been attending Rainbow Centre @ Yishun Park Since 2010. I am not sure if you have sent your son to this type of school and if not, I would strongl encourage you to do it.
When he was first diagnosed at about 2 1/2 year ago, his behavioural and speech was so bad…he couldnt even speak, he throw trantrums, kicked at me, have strange behavioural. My hubby and I spent a lot of money on private speech and occupational therapy and then chanced upon Rainbow Centre through NUH Child Development Centre. Ever since then, he has trememdously improved in his speech and behavioural. he now can say a full sentence like I want to eat and are better behaved.
Do let send me private message if you need more info on this.
With best regards,
Princess Belle
