All About Autism

My son recently has been clapping hands non stop. He can’t focus and avoid us if we ask him to sit on chair. If I bring him to see OT, can OT train him to focus better and reduce his stimming (clapping hands)? Any recommendation for OT? Thanks.

Claps hands = stimming ?'!

A few months old diagnosed autistic ??? -
As I quieten down to close off another year, I think about what the year has been about for us with a special needs child.
It has been about struggles, as we fight one battle after another.
It has been about joy, as we laugh about the amazing things that our children do.
It has been about fears, as we make decisions into the unknown on behalf of our children.
It has been about triumph, as we look at what our children have achieved.
It has been about tears, as we face rejections from those who do not understand.
It has been about appreciation, as we are enriched by those who lend a kind heart.
It has been about support, as we draw on one another’s strengths.
It has been about anger, as we continue to be denied.
It has been about faith, as we strengthen our belief in our children.
It has been about pain, as we see our children falter despite their greatest efforts.
It has been about courage, as we drop the seemingly essential non-essentials.
It has been about peace, as we choose to believe that there will always be hope.
Our lives are not perfect, but worth celebrating, for all the things that we have gained or lost.
Open more doors in the heart, and we shall see more clearly.
To a good year ahead. -
ImMeeMee , that was a touching poem. :grphug:
Wishing all a happy and peaceful and worthwhile year ahead :celebrate: -

Hey gals and guys, its been a long while that i havne’t been following this thread. maybe a month or so. Firstly, i wanna thank you for the support and encouragement that i found in here. I have been spending a lot of time deciding for my son’s therapy and future. I spend most of my time taking care of my son, at the same time i need to squeeze out time to read on ABA and RDI and talked to many people and flew out of the country to attend seminar. unfortunately, i still dont know much the resource here in singapore, a country where i live my everyday life. I didn’t bring my son to KKH. Maybe that’s the reason. i am making a decision. A decision of relocation for my son. I need your help to advise me what’s available resource around in sg. Me and my son are both singaporean. it will be so sad to leave the country because we dont know how it can help us. I need your advice.
I know some of the answers for my below questions but i might be missing a big picture.
1) any good RDI/floor time therapist that you are currently seeing
2) any government help? money? subsidies?
3) any family support group for parents like me?
4) any mainstream school’s accepting our kids well? how’s school teachers readiness?
thank you very much in advance and Have a great 2013!
Happy new year! -
