All About Autism

[specialboymum]

most of our kids are ‘visual learner’ and are very good in memorizing.

For my boy, he learnt all the roads in Singapore by playing with the iphone google map app (the one that have photos). He is now our walking GPS and street directory. Visual aids is always helpful when we are teaching visual learner. For my son, I got to use fingers to help my son to learn the 4 intonation in hanyu pinyin, which he is struggling with.

Regarding reading people’s expression/feelings, it can be taught, but then must first build up eye contact.

But my son know which teacher he likes n know which teacher he don’t like.


As some teachers talk to him he will look out n smile , and if the teacher he don’t like talk to him , he will put his head down n not looking at her even if she try to pull his head up.

Are these related to read feelings or difference ?

Dear Parents,


It's really great to hear your children are settling well in mainstream primary schools. Does anyone know which schools in the Central area are supportive of high functioning ASD children? My child is registering for P1 this year.

Hi HappyStar,

how/what they found out that and classified as High Functioning ASD Children in Singapore?

High IQ. act normal but still have ASD traits? and why they still classify as ASD?

Hi! You must send your child for an assessment by qualified psychologist in order to diagnose. These group of children are typically verbal and have high IQ but have some ASD traits, especially in their social skills.

Hi Happystar,

My son will be enrolling next year. I am also trying to see which primary school is supportive.

For central, I heard that the St Andrews Primary is a good one. Not sure if this is central enough for you
