All About Autism

[nugget]

Thanks… I will slowly tell him that he is different but its okay.


Mashy,

I think everyone has autistic traits. Everyone need their space, there will be times where we dun feel like socializing, we feel awkward and uncomfy at situation etc…

Just that our ASD kids have deeper traits of them. Sometimes I feel my son is completely normal. Its no big deal not to talk right.

I think if I hav a younger sibling he might be big brother.


As he is the only child now. Once when I'm at friend house, my fren daughter go touch the oven My son keep telling her not to touch n bring her hands away so cute

Typical autistic kid at 3 yrs old wouldn't bother if your friend's daughter burned her fingers by touching the oven.

Hehe, I think I've some autistic traits in me too. Not someone who can keep friends.

Mashy,
Exactly! That's y we always think Helplessmum's son is misdiagnosed!

I didn’t tell my son specifically about his condition. I guess I also don’t want it to limit

Himself thinking that becoz he is autistic and thus he cannot do. I think I will only tell him when it’s necessary. Right now, it isn’t. He probably already knows he is different becoz he goes KKH so often and from his interactions with others.

I think the main thing about autism is that they live in their own world, oblivious of other beings in the world. When we went out, he was always in the stroller coz when he walked, he walked wherever he wanted and not following us. It didn't matter to him if we were there or not. He has never cried when he was lost. My gal will walk side by side and look back even if she should run in front.

Now I'm teaching my boy the responsibility of taking care of others like his sister. Like when I'm talking to someone, I will get him to watch over her. When she's pooing, I get him to read to her. He's getting it slowly but surely.

Mashy ,

Believe or not after my son been diagnosed w autism .

As there higher speculatin that usually is genetics I keep guessing is it me or my husband or my parents has it lol

My son does follow us when we are out. If he ran about, sometimes he will look back but we always have him in sight, don’t want to really lose him. So not sure if he will cry or not. Hmm, maybe I shall test him out near our neighbourhood, I hide behind a pillar and see if he comes looking for me.

[helplessmum3]

If misdiagnosis then which cat. Will he be next ?

Speech delay ? H something ?

Nevermind just stick to PDD nos first …

I wish to type good news n progress of my son here too…
I pray soon !

Helplessmum,


Dr lian wee bin is very experience in this field. Perhaps you might want to seek for second opinion. She was formerly with sgh but just set up private clinic recently.
