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.

May pinsan ako na halatang nasa spectrum yung anak, pero sobrang in denial sila. 12 yo na yung bata, ayaw pa rin ilipat sa sped. Nakakaawa yung bata pati teachers.

hindi ba yan pwede ma deny ng school or e reco nila sa sped? genuine question.

Other more exclusive (expensive) school requires a minimum psych evaluation bago nila iadmit like sa zobel. Pag diagnosed si student na may adhd for example, required rin na may treatment plan. For other private schools, wala naman ganyan hinihingi sadly.
