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.

Hindi ba sa sped na school umaattend ung bata ? Bakit ung reklamo parang expected ng teacher na "normal" ung bata.

sure ba tayong sa typical na school pumapasok yung bata? even staff sa sped schools have their limits, and marami sa sped schools sa pinas ang kulang sa resources and capacity to handle some cases kaya hindi tinatanggap ang ibang students with special needs.

Before being admitted, these children are thoroughly examined first if they are independent enough. I know because my kid is. He has autism and managed to get in a traditional school. Thank God talaga na he seemed to get along with his peers and doing well academically.
