[quote=\"happystar\"]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.[/quote]Soon my son will be diagnosis by kkh physcologist . Hiaz why God make my son in defect :(... Will they wan to get married...

hi helplessmum3,

you have to be more positive.
our kids are different but definately not less.
i told my girl she is special in her own unique way, and this is what makes her her.
all of us here have gone a long way with our kids, but it will only get better. trust me, they will cope better and improve as they grow up.
you will be smiling at little steps of improvement they make every day. :celebrate:

Hi Chibi,

How do you explain to your girl she is special? Did you teach her to tell her friends that she is special as well?

I feel my son is becoming aware that he is different from others. I wanted to tell him that he is different from others, and its okay being so. As he is only 4 yr ++, I am not sure how to tell him without being too \"deep\".

How about using plants as analogy? Different plants need different types of soil and different climates to thrive but are all part of our landscape and have their uses. you can go on and on from there or keep it basic, and kids can see the differences in plants with their own eyes.


At 4 plus, it is not her job to tell the rest that she is different. That is the teacher’s job but if she is inexperienced, she may need some guidance and tips from you. My son’s kindy teacher explained to them that their special needs classmate is younger and needs more help and will seat the child next to someone who has the temperament to help.

Helplessmum3,

Please be strong. All of us here have been through what you went through. After the psychological assessment and if your child is really confirmed under ASD, you will go through another emotional turmoil again.

This is not a easy road and ASD is not something that can be cured. Most importantly help your child while you can. He is only 2.5 yrs old. Early intervention will be very very helpful for him.

hi nugget,

i think deminc did a good explanation :please:
but for me, haha , my explanation was quite silly.
i told her to look at mi lu egg, her favourite character now, its a taiwanese ( i suppose so) ( braised egg)
i told her she is like mi lu egg, special , not common yet so unique.
haha surprisingly she aceept it but i can tell she was abit silly explanation, but i will go more into it when she grows up more. :xedfingers:
she often ask me tho, why is she so sensitive to loud noises and strong smells? i told her , mummy is also very scared at times if a smell gets so strong, but mummy knows how to cover her nose and control her sensitivity .
i guess my daughter's classmates should know that she is a little bit different from them. but i am glad that they accept her for who she is. sometimes i pick her up from school when i am on leave, and i can see them calling her and waving to her when we leaving the school. they seem to accept her for who she is.
she even tell me her buddy always encourage her and tell her don't always be scared of this n that, she will hold my daughter hand and support her .

hi helplessmum3 :snuggles:

you are not alone.
till now, sometime i will still lose control. but just remember to pick yourself up after that .
you need to be strong to help your son.
I usually have a good cry and after that, its 's battle time again for my daughter!
its like going to battle in my opinion, never lose heart and hope.
:nunchuk:
i remember i can't go past a point where i don't cry when i talk to her therapists about her condition, its tears dwell up in the eyes and i start to sob when talking to them.
but our kids can sense it if we are upset . and positive feelings attact positive feelings. you need to be strong , and your son can feel your strength.
