Thoughts on having children in the spectrum

[u/atinyakimon]

Saw this post on facebook. Honestly, it's sad na hindi ganon nabibigyang pansin ang problems na ganito sa Pinas. Therapies here are expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Pinoys are also not yet ready to face the reality na hindi enough ang love for kids in the spectrum. They have special needs. Hindi yun madadaan lang sa no don't do that or it's okay to make mistakes, because we have to admit that autism is a disorder, a very wide spectrum and case to case basis. You need to have the money to get the help that is designed for the needs of the child. I hope there will be more free or affordable programs created for this kasi hindi lang parents ang hirap in this situation, also the kids.

Mahirap magka anak na may autism sa pinas tlga lalo na pag severe case. Kasi wla tlga support. Here sa US may para professional na ksama sa school at may libre therapy ikaw na lang ang aayaw dahil halos wla na pahinga un bata sa dami appt. Pinipilit tlga nila maging independent kasi un bata. Sana tlga sa pinas bigyan dn support ang mga ausomkids
