All About Autism

[schweppes]

This is a serious thread so naturally a lot of serious sharing.


But we need to laugh at ourselves too. Cannot be doom and gloom all the time.

So... on a more light-hearted note, want to share this with the parents here on how I help my dd with hand-eye coordination. I made her pluck my white hair. I bought a tweezer and told her that she has to pluck my white hair. Must say that it has helped with her hand-eye coordination. :imcool:

Sad truth is that as I have more white hair now :gloomy: :gloomy: ... and am now at a dilemma. Get dd to pluck white hair to improve her hand-eye skills?? Or become botak at the end of it all :yikes: :yikes:

Haha, i think u are thinking too much. This is normal reflex. I would too! And yes, all kids have separation anxiety at some point. Both my quirky kid and my ordinary kid have separation anxieties.

Again, you are doing unnecessary stuff here. My ordinary gal do all these. She sings like crazy, she also picks up things on the floor to throw into rubbish bin.

Please read up more about autism signs before you stop him. U may actually be preventing him from developing normally like this. Also, there are reasons for some autism behaviour. Like spinning as a self stimulation, it helps bring them back to earth when their sensors overload. So stopping them may not be ideal. Instead, try to improve eye contact, conversation and social skills.

Mashy,


What are the things shd we stop them from doing?

Beside not to leave them play toys alone…

Thats why I get paranoid if my son does things alone like singing la…

Heard they hav bad habits must quickly stop them if not their autism will get worst .

What are these bad habits ?

Helplessmum3,

I can understand your anxiety, but besides getting your answers and sharing with us here you should get down to find out more about Autism proper. The earlier you get a clearer picture, the better position you are in to help your child.

Just me $0.02…

helplessmum,


I agree with mashy and auntieM. You can find out more about Autism online. There are a lot of helpful resources (or information) on the internet. Every child is different, so may have different behavior.

I'm attaching two links for your reference

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002494/

http://www.autism.com/

Don't just read from wikipedia. You can google or yahoo search \"autism\" or \"autism spectrum disorder\" to get more information.
