All About Autism

For parents of P1 going kids, might be a good idea to suss out the AED and learning support program in school. If the school has a good system in place, might want to consider doing away with the shadow teacher.
Alternatively, as what one parent above suggested, it’s better if the mom becomes a parent volunteer in school. In other words, help out with the school’s reading prog or canteen duties, etc. That way, you are still physically present in your child’s school and your child is assured of your presence. The teachers know who you are and vice versa. But at the same time, you are not "there" all the time in your child’s actual presence, giving your child room to grow.
As much as we feel protective of our special kids, we also want them to lead a normal life. -
My boy's class has an aed for English and maths lessons. So shadow teachers may not be necessary.

I agree with with tabgha, I feel mothers will tend to be over protective and its even harder for teachers to manage the class. Worse still, mothers start challenging teachers on the task given out.
I feel school should close up the gap if they really are sincere in providing help for special needs.
With this news coming out, some schools might abuse this and pressure the parents to engage shadow teachers so its easier for them to manage the special needs kids. -
hey all!!
havent log in for a while
was hospitalized a few months ago as i was having severe morning sickness and had dehydration. i am preggie with # 3 now!! :evil: and will be giving birth in a few months time.
my DD1 who has high functioning autism now in Pri.2 already actually gives me alot of support during this period of time. when she sees me carry DS2 , who is 2 yrs old, she will goes, mummy do you want me to help carry? i am worried about you and bb.
and just 2 days ago, my maid was taking a shower and DS#2 woke up from his nap crying, i have to carry him around to stop him from crying, my DD1 actually came up to me and ask me, can you manage? and quickly run outside to the bathroom and shouted: Auntie!! didi is crying! can you shower abit faster and come out to help plse?
i was so touched. my DD1 has showed alot of empathy in my opinion.
She has been helping me apply stretch mark cream on my belly every night now and feeling her little sister in my tummy moving, she also goes\" wow!!! my little mei mei is moving! so amazing!!!\" :snuggles:
i never regretted having her tho at times she really need quite abit of attention from me.
but poor DD1 has been sick for the past week, had chest infection and can only go back to school next week.

chibi,
Big congrats to you!! :congrats:
So sweet of your DD1 to show concern. I feel having siblings is the best playmate for our ASD kids.
I just delivered my baby last year. Although my son never show a lot of affection during my pregnancy (maybe he dun really understand), now he does show affection towards his baby bro. Now he keep saying when no 3 is bigger, no 4 will come. I told him nope, no more no 4.
He doesn't know how to play with baby but he always bring toys to baby when baby started fussing/crying. Can see that he is pretty kancheong over the little one.
Now he will say \"I am big brother, I will look after #2 and #3\". Very sweet too. -
thanks nugget
your boy is so sweet too!
and i can proudly say too that though our kids might be abit different, they never fail us to give us something back that is even bigger and better. :rahrah:
when i told my colleague about what my girl did, my colleague actually told me that she has given you back a gift that is even more precious when she does things like that :love:
i always told my DD1 and DS2 ( not sure if DS2 knows what i am talking tho he is always going yea yeah!!!, lol ) and DD3 ( not out yet lol) mummy loves the 3 of you the same!!! :grphug: -

Your doter is really 懂事, and that's really remarkable. I remember her as the one to say 'sorry' because she didnt don her school uniform?
Good to see that you are doing fine. BTW, I dont see many parents with doters of about the same age at this thread. The closest that I can find is yours at P2. Mine is 6 yo this year.
Do stay in touch so that we can exchange notes. -

Must be really heartwarming to hear all these from your gal. I hope one day, when my boy is at your girl’s age, he will say all these to me too.
Our family just came back from a trip in Taipei. And my boy kept throwing tantrums in the first 3 days demanding for this and that and refusing to bath when we returned to the hotel. He only became better after I gave him the ultimatum on the 3rd night of our trip. But through this trip, I feel that he can now play and respond better to his sister. He will follow his sister’s instructions and attempt to touch her on the shoulder when playing. But he still doesn’t know how to strike a conversation with his sister. -
Hi ImMeeMee & Double E,
my girl at times will also \"give me nonsense\" , like when i send her to school in the morning, she will say i will prefer to go to the maingate not the side gate, because side gate got rubbish bin smell!!! :sick:
sigh sigh.
have to take it with a laugh at times .
i brought my daughter to her paediatrician few days ago for her bad cough, and she was telling the paediatrician, i coughing nonstop, feel very suffering le!. i was
then she put her arms on the table and against her head and ask the paediatrician , how many days of mc do you think i should get? even more
she makes me laugh at times.
my daughter has a school mate, same P2 as her, but different class, i know his mum personally, he has the same condition as my daughter, so i click very well with his mum and gave each other support like, oh no!! today my son misbehave, then i will tell her yeah!! my daughter did that too! how how? lets discuss what should we do to help them.
haha at times its really joining forces together to think of ways to help our kids :snuggles: -
