        Dear nugget,

        You have not meet such parent like that, when you tell them your child is ASD, they immediately go to the school and request to change class/ withdraw their child from the center, because they don't want their child to pick up bad behavior from ASD child! Guess what, that mother is a pre school teacher!
        Such people are not worth getting upset about. It's their loss if they want to shut themselves off from a wider range of people and experiences. Actually, this happened to me when I was a child - I transferred into an English-medium school from a Chinese-medium school (this was in 1973, when there were still Chinese stream schools) in mid-Pr school, and one of the girls asked the teacher to move her seat away from me because her parents were afraid that I would affect her English adversely. What they didn't know was that I had changed school because my Chinese was atrocious as I had lived in the UK, and my parents had finally given up the idea of keeping me in a Chinese school!

          Are ASD child that obvious to others ?!

          It depends on the severity of the traits. Some will be so obvious to anyone, but some only to those who are more aware. Now that I have an Asperger's girl, I can recognise it in others quite easily. I would say that a lot of people just think that my daughter is odd or strange without knowing what name to put to it.

            Sometimes, NT kids who are not disciplined by the parents behave worse than kids with mild symptoms.

              Dear mummies,


              I am trying to find a shadow teacher for preschooler - kindergarten level.
              Would anybody know of any good shadow teachers who are available in the north east area? Please advise of their rate (salary) for 5 day basis (4 hours a day) if you have the information.

              I cannot seem to get anything from the internet, except that I remember that ST published it costs $3000 a month to hire a shadow teacher for primary school kid.

                My friend’s daughter’s therapist does it but not on a full time basis like what was reported in the ST. She would be there for a period to understand the school’s environment and her behaviour. Based on this, she will advise the parents.


                In DD’s primary school, some parents volunteer with the school so that they are at hand if needed.

                    Thanks, looking for full time shadow teacher, as parents are not allowed in the school compound. Therapist only do school visit and advise the school and teacher how to better engage the special need child. The school my gal is looking to go is providing the environment, but they have no resources etc to try to understand nor engage. The shadow teacher will be the one to help my gal to settle in and understand the correct behaviour and manner to uphold. Without the shadow teacher, my gal cannot gain entry to the school.
