All About Autism

[helplessmum3]

For CEL sub, yr son need to refer by kkh

[helplessmum3]

karkar u sure can…


i only work w my son after work after i fetch him from school at 6, 7 bath, 8dinner so 9-10pm i work w him. If i have evening class, i did not work w him.

i give up HBP by kKH therapists because. too much of hassle,imagine, i have to send my son to cc in the morning by bus and go work by bus…
at 3pm i take bus from office to my son cc then bring him to HBP by… then from HBP i take bus home… all these journey i have to carry my bag & my son school bag at time my son wan me to carry… he is still weak on his upper truck , tat y he can easier get tired.
on top of this, i have to apply half day leave…

Of all these my son only see HBP therapist only 1hr , not work w my son but ases, u see not really cost effective or rational.

ImMeeMee, thank you so much.

All mummies, thanks for all your comments. no worries no criticism. each post gets me to think. it's good to hear different perspectives.

I learn that fighting with autism is a long battle, every mummy/daddy needs to be consistent in caring for their lovely child. i will take care of myself. In the past 2 months, i have not been wearing makeup to work, i have not been going to facial, i have not been using skin products and doing masks, i have not been going out for a drink except to welcome my london gf. my active life style has been changed, and i am happy that i can make that sacrifice for my dear son and i am not sad about losing those vibrant life.. (I couldn't even imagine myself baby sit a child before pregnancy)..i grew up to be a responsible mother, i am proud of myself and i am proud of the gift god sent - my son. He's a lovely and happy kid. mum here needs extra kick to get to his heart and touch his soul i wont give up

kar kar, I was (and still am) never good with kids. So there are times when I think that maybe there is a reason that life has sent me a very tough nut to crack. If I dont learn it, it will just return in different forms until I master it. Its a learning process for us mummies as well.

You know, I used to think of autism as my enemy, but now I am beginning to think of it as my partner. Rather than to fight it, lets engage and live along side with it.

Good to see that you are taking it in stride. Its a marathon, not a sprint, so do conserve energy.

There are advantages to being an autistic actually. They are innocent, no hidden agenda, not manipulative. I've seen so many manipulative kids around it scares me. They are also very polite children if you just teach them the words to say. The easiest way to manage them is just to adhere to a routine. No need to guess what's next. They have great memory and can tell you exactly what you have said long ago. They are easy to please and demand nothing from you. They don't bother you when you are busy doing something else. The bad thing of course is that you may forget about him.

Agree. My son is quite an angel. Say he wants to go a playground, we say no. He rarely gets upsets even so he never throws up a tantrum. He just cries & get over it in a few minutes. Yet he's 1 year old sister is already throwing her temper around! The other day I showed him a photo of a disabled child, I asked what's wrong with the child. He couldn't tell at all. He doesn't discriminate or give a weird gaze at anyone who looks different. Everyone's the same to him! :imanangel:
