Double E and ImMeeMee

It's the decision of the teacher, the OT seems helpless. Apparently the teacher said to help my child with the behavioral issue first before they deal with his social interaction issue. For how long? She said till he understands how to behave and manage his anger before he is being put back in the group. They do try to include about 1-2 group activities throughout the whole 3 hours.

Well of cos as a mother or any mum would be upset. But if that's the way to help him I really don't mind. Currently I'm really at a loss or even lose the judgement to see which method is fair/unfair/good/bad for my child. Maybe because I've faced too many rejections and strange looks from many parents. Who says parents of special needs children are not aware and forgiving? In fact I feel they r more protective. At least the one I saw at the eipic centre is like that, where my son's presence seems to be disturbing her.

summertan, if the teachers are clear on what they are doing and what they are striving towards that direction, then maybe no harm letting the professionals take the approach and see what happens.

Sigh, there are also some problems arising at my EIPIC center. So now keeping a tab. But it does add anxiety and insecurity when such things happen.

:sad:

Yup now just taking a step at a time.

What happened to ur eipic centre?

Immeemee,


First boy P1, not my son, but I help to communicate with the school teacher and do SEL with him. Second one is my son, k1, 3rd is also my son, NT, 2 yrs old.

braverymom, very brave to have an ASD child under your care when you are already handling one.

:salute:

I second that.

It must have been tough on you. Now I think your nick really shows that. You are not just brave but great too!

Double E, Immeemee ,


Thanks for praising. This kind of encouraging is what we need to make us move on and believe it is a right choice to do. I got discouraging at times.

[braverymom]

Thanks summer, that is why I chosen this nick.

Hi braverymum

If you are very sure of the diagnosis of your child is ASD, go to epic center that focus on ASD. The lesson they cater to your child will be more suitable, and parents will be more understanding. Other special needs child might not be having similar problem, can understand why the other parent not able to accommodate. They don't understand. my personal experience and thoughts. Hope it help.

[quote=\"braverymom\"]Yup! I am currently dealing with 2 ASD and 1 NT boys. All active. It is very frustrating at times, but with the help from people around me, especially husband, that make life easier. In fact my NT boy is more difficult to deal with.

Braverymom,

Can I ask how old are your boys? Like you I have 3 kids. My eldest is diagnose with HF ASD @3.5 years old. My #2 is okay. My #3 who is coming to 1, I am monitoring closely. When did u discover your 2nd ASD show symptoms? My #3 is not even 1, I really can't tell if he has ASD or not. So far he is reaching all his milestones.

If no delay, should be ok I guess. There is 1 sign that you may want to look into. If he crawl first before sitting up at 6-7mths. Hardly have cooing sound. Then again, every child is different. you are already experienced mom, trust your intuition and relax.[/quote]Braverymom,

Thank you for sharing. I also trying hard to relax. So far I think he is okay. But can't help but wonder if my #3 is okay or not. I will keep monitoring. I agree we always must trust our intuition
