[quote=\"crabbygal\"]Hi all,
Any recommendation of dentist good in handling autistic kid? My son needs to see a dentist and he is oral sensitive. Tried googling but can't seem to find much information, except Smilefocus at Camden Medical Centre, Dr. Ong. Help?
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, Dr Ong Yean Sze, she is really gifted when comes to handling her young patients; thou my child is not autistic, but I have seen her soothing many young ones when we were at the waiting area. My child actually \"enjoys\" his dental checkup with Dr Ong.
It's quite difficult to book a slot with her, you may have to call for appointment as early as 2 months in advance.
my son dont even dare to take those S$1 rides

My son went at 3 and he refused to open mouth and cried buckets. So I'm not in a hurry. He finally went again at 5yrs old. Now he wanna be a dentist.
may i know at what age should go for dentist?

coz he says dentists take away the pain. He now has no fear of the dentists even after root canal and pulling out teeth.

Regarding taking $1 rides, why so hard on him? I refused to let my kids try the rides. Hahah. Coz to me, it becomes a bad habit and every time u come across one, they wanna ride on it. My hb let him try once and he freaked out when it moved. We wasted the money seeing the ride move without him inside! So we asked another kid nearby to take the ride instead.
Now he’s ok with it. All kids have some fears in them. Don’t be so harsh on him and expect this 3 yr old to be so brave. He is still a small kid. -
Mashy, omg , so young root canal.. he so brave!!! i wish my son will be like yours one day... 3yo is old lioa.. clock is ticking i very scare. how i wish i can stop the clock
ok understand now, i will not force him on anyting tat he doesnt like unless is a needs to.

Not all the time, in fact, he can't follow a lot of steps, so those that he can't, he will just stand there and look at the teachers. -

Not true that ASD don't like swings. Mine loves them. After he overcame he fears of sudden movements, he now loves roller coasters too! He can take the roller coaster rides at universal studios and aims to go on the battle star galactica once he is tall enough. His therapist says he is actually under stimulated type and needs to turn, move and jump to get his energy level up. Else he will be like a pile of mud on e floor. So he is always seeking thrills and spins himself crazy. That's probably why he started stimming by turning round and round. He still does that once a while. When he was 3, he will hang himself upside down with the side rail of the lift. All those who shared the lift starred in horror and kept telling him to get down. -

My boy is also the under stimulated type. The therapist said he cannot get the stimulation in the correct way as NT kids, thats why he does visual stim to stimulate himself. I have read that for those who have visual stem, their visual is under stimulated.

My boy likes to swing. He likes to sit in the swing and likes us to carry him and swing around but he prefers slow and steady, not too fast. -
Hi Parents
Just to share. My son has been using this online programme for over a year now. Its from Fast ForWord. I like the convenience this programme offers, cos i can get him to do it every day or afew times a day at home. Especially helpful during school holidays!
I heard that they are running a free parent seminar sometime this month. So for those of you who are interested you may wanna check it out. Their website is http://www.fastforword.com.sg. -

slmkhoo, what does your daughter intend to do for a living when she is fully grown up, and how are you preparing her for it.
As for following movements, my daughter still can't do it and probably never will. To us, it's OK - she won't need to do that for a living.
Care to share? TIA.
