      hellflame\" post_id=\"2063700\" time=\"1649217556\" user_id=\"197427:

      My mother in law spoonfed my kid every dinner and even though i propose to let my girl to self fed but always unsuccessful as my mil will decline it. Yay i was thinking perhaps she is bored as we seldom fed her while we go out ,we will do it at home b4 we go out. There was a time while we were dining out my daughter turn behind looking at a family and suddenly shouted at them like \"ahhh\" at them...
      I see why your daughter fusses when outside. She's bored! She doesn't have food to eat, and she has nothing much to do. For that age, I would \"buy time\" by giving something to eat, preferably with her fingers, feeding her little bits from your plates, and giving her a rotation of little toys and books. But don't expect to sit and have a leisurely meal. Since this is really off topic, if you have other questions about toddlers, find the toddler thread to post questions. All the best!

        Slmkhoo has given some really good suggestions. Please please please don’t take the “easy” way out and hand her a phone or iPad to watch cartoon videos while u eat (like most families do). It becomes a terrible habit that’s impossible to change later on.

            Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior.


            A serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact.
            Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system and affects the overall cognitive, emotional, social and physical health of the affected individual.
            The range and severity of symptoms can vary widely. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours.
            Early recognition, as well as behavioural, educational and family therapies may reduce symptoms and support development and learning.

              Another aspect of autism is sensory issues. It explains why they behave in certain ways and it is also the same sensory sensitivity that gives some of these individuals the abilities to be better than neuro typical in performing certain tasks - they process in more details that neuro typical find it “overwhelming”.


              https://www.autismspeaks.org/sensory-issues

              There is this school of thought: In the world where the very large majority will design the world around what is most comfortable to them. Imagine if the minority autistic is allow to design the world around their in born comfort level instead, the rest of the people will now have sensory issues. Thus the term “neuro typical” to describe the normal people. It is not that these normal people are more normal in absolute term, they are just more of them - more “typical”.

              Neuro typical finds reading lines after lines of number overloading and they design computer to ease it. Neuro typical constantly simulated themselves out of boredom by inventing intoxication/shopping. Neuro typical have their everyday obsessions. Loosely, these are the neuro typical’s equivalence to the autistic’ s overloading/under simulating/ obsessions?

              Ok , true to my style, again: The movie “Accountant”, is a dramatised depiction of the right design can transform a person with autism into a more productive person than a neuro typical (have to watch till the end to see it).

                        The main issues would be: [list]
                      • intellectually - can the child keep up in mainstream - if no, shouldn't try mainstream
                      • [/list][list]
                      • socially/emotionally - can the child manage without a lot of special assistance - if no, shouldn't try mainstream
                      • [/list][list]
                      • behaviourally - will the child be disruptive in mainstream school - if yes, shouldn't try mainstream
                      • [/list]Basically, mainstream school cannot provide much assistance and coaching (if any at all), and so it's only suitable if the child can mostly manage on his own, with coaching and support provided mostly outside school. And if the child is likely to struggle with the schoolwork, or not be able be accepted by the other kids, or be disruptive in the classroom, then mainstream school will not be suitable.
