All About Autism

Teach the hanyu pinyin and give occasional practice, but put more emphasis on learning to write characters. That is what I did. Don’t tear your out over it. By P2 and P3, they transit over to words anyway.

hi deminc
thnks!
but this aside, lol the bad thing is, with my daughter's heightened sense of senses, she can almost smell / hear it every time i fart , even as light stinky as it is, or as soft as it is, and she wil goes, \" mummy, why are you always farting???\" :stupid: -
Hahaha…my son complains of stinky armpits. We threaten to remove all sweets if he dares utter that in public. (slap backside)

Chibi,
Time and time again I will always lost control of myself . And start to hate God.
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.
My son physcologist app is on my birthday .
So this yr birthday , God send me a present, a autistic son.
Early intervention as u say not cure.
Still they remain defective in their life.
Like crack glass or mirror. Can't be mend .
My son is a mutant there onwards, Fantastic 4 maybe. All hav special intelligence but yet consider disability lo... High IQ yet consider disability individual . Fast learner yet disability .
Temple gradin is a scientist yet disability ..
Is sickness . Is mental sickness that always feel there is a door exist.. -

STOP thinking rubbish!!
STOP talking rubbish!!
STOP acting rubbish!!
Autism is NOT a sickness nor a mental illness!!
Your son is NOT a mutant and this is NOT a punishment from God.
Autism CAN BE managed.
You make the opportunities happen for your child.
From what you share here about your son's progress and efforts, he is a bright and sensitive boy. I rejoice in his little achievements. Be proud of those!!
I believe in God and sometimes I wonder what He has in store for my child. I have stormed Heaven with my tears and a mother's desperation. But a mother's love knows no end. And I will do whatever it takes within my means to help my child.
Whatever God's plans are for my family, I believe things happen for a reason. A positive reason.
If you want to help your son, then you must STOP your negative thoughts!! -

I understand you are in pain and it also sounded like you are angry over this situation.

I don't know how to comfort you as I also feel as helpless as you are.
After a while,I started to read up as much as I can on ASD, re-adjust my finances, reset my priorities and lower my expectations for my boy.
Yes its true like crack glass or mirror. Can't be mend .But I chose to make the best situation out of it. I will polished it bright and clear and will put some decorations on it so it bring out the best of its usefulness. We can still look into a crack mirror and see our own reflection right?
It all boils down to who can accept this mirror and who can't.
My expectation of my boy now is as long as he can live independently when I die one day, I will be happy.
That is all i ask of him. Nothing more. -

you have penned it so eloquently, nugget. i love the analogy of the cracked glass and mirror -

The worst that your son can have is a mom who rejects him like he is some lousy goods.
I know u are in denial and you need to snap out of it. U were already practicing absent parenting before u realized that something wasn’t right with him. And now u are dismissing him as faulty.
If u participate more in his life, share more smiles with him and cherish him for whatever he is and whatever he may become, he will be better. Maybe not the best in the world but the best kid u ever had.
There are many who experience more anguish than this. At least yours is high function with high iq. Many with autism are non verbal, low iq and will need help for the rest of their lives. Many do not have splinter skills and can never read. -
Agree. They’re right. Same as you, I also feel very sore and angry why it happen to my girl. She is my only child. She’s only 3yrs+.
As I was complaining buckets to my colleague, I realized that his son was actually non verbal and presently still in Rainbow since age three till now, he is ten year old this year. At that spur of moment I felt that I’m better off than my colleague.
No doubt if I compared my girl to normal kids, she maybe the odd one out. However at least she is still verbal with speech delay. She also has almost similar sensory issues like your son. With early intervention, our kids will improve slowly.
Hence i’ve slowly learn to count my blessing.
