      i pray that i could survive as long as i live...


      human being are weak..

      recently i went to food court, saw a girl who is around 20++ , with a maid & her mother around 60yo... she sit on wheel chair, she always open her mouth, i sit next table to hers, whenever i talk to my son , she will repeat what i jus say, she will look at ceiling lights and stemming....by shaking her heads..

      she has a damn PRETTY Face!!!! and very pearly shining complexion & skin color.. to me she really very pretty........ WHYYYYY, her mother will have this thinking too. why my beautiful daughter is suffering this....

      her mother still having hard time to make her eat, cuz end up she has to feed her & on her iPhone with Doreamon cartoons, and the daughter will sing loudly in food court.. all eyes look at their table...........

      the mother jus focus on her solely and dun care about the surrounding... imagine, her daughter is already 20plus yo.... and siting on wheel chair too...

      i think she is non-verbal with physical disability too....

      again, she born with pretty face & skin... her eyes pretty , eye lashes so long.. her nose high , really can be a Actress kind of image... and she is tall & nice figure too... skin perfectly stunning....
      my heart goes out to them. i dunno if i will cry when i see them.. (i get emo easily) but certainly, there are always ppl less fortunate and we should feel sorry for them....

        I see a lot of these at the kkh rehab. Some kids gotta lug an oxygen tank everywhere they do. It is very sad so must be thankful that at least our kids have no physical disability and they can be trained to overcome their difficulties.

            Ya, not ASD. Not true. I've seen many kids with ailments, just keep salivating, mouth open wide, non verbal and physically can't move. Just on the wheel chair and go 'argh argh'. Also cannot communicate. So we are the lucky ones. Ours will improve with time.

                    If my son could request this or that when he was three, I would be throwing a party!

                    U need to accept that he will need time to learn the skills of a conversation. My boy couldn't really request things at 3 yrs old. We had to ask him and predict what he wants. It's always us offering him and that includes even meals. If we don't offer food, he won't eat. He didn't know how to tell us that he is hungry or he simply didn't care. My hb ever forgot to feed him when I was out and he just went hungry the whole afternoon.

                    U must remember my son is 6 going 7. Don't expect a 3 yr old kid to be able to be like a 6 yr old, esp when he has asd.

                    There is no short cut to this. Just talk and talk to him, ask him questions. Soon, he will suddenly decide to take part in the conversation. Think we started having a proper conversation towards the end of k2 about 5 yrs old. He has improved a lot since then.

                      You are right! We should be so thankful that our kids are physically well and still have a chance to retune their behaviour to fit into society and mainstream. All these are but a tiny dose of mere effort, compared to so many people out there. Some ASD kids are more severe on the spectrum and my heart goes out to them.

                      That day, at the CDU, my hb saw a father hitting a child very hard on the arm because the child was in a tussle with another child over a toy. The heart breaking part was a remark by the father, "看到你就讨厌"! If a parent can’t 包容 his child, who would???
