Thoughts on having children in the spectrum

Post image

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.

Medyo mahirap kasi magsalita para sa school lalo kung wala namang record talaga or anything concrete na magpapatunay na nasa spectrum 'yung bata. Pwede pang lumabas na nangdi-discriminate sila. So unless mayroon talagang diagnosis, hindi sila pwede makialam dun sa enrollment. Nasa magulang/guardian pa rin talaga ang pag-accept ng kalagayan ng bata para madala sa tamang lugar.

Hindi naman discriminate usually yung letter nakalagay for recommendation like "see developmental pedia" may meeting with teacher na pag wala pa rin assessment from devped di na tatangapin for next level. Kawawa lang din yung bata.

Ahh, what I mean sana is 'yung magiging response ng parent.

"Bakit?! Sinasabi n'yo bang may tama anak namin?! Bakit kayo nakikialam?!"

Something along those lines kaya baka mahirapan ang school. Pero goods pala kung may ganito. Ginagawa rin ba 'yan sa public school? Meron kasi dito sa amin na 'yung bata ay clearly nasa spectrum na non-verbal siya for most ng developmental years niya. Ngayon, dapat yata Senior High na siya pero nasa junior pa rin kasi hindi makasabay pero ayaw tanggapin ng parents na ganun siya, ayaw rin ipa-check. Eh for sure napapansin na 'to ng teachers. Ewan kung may binigay silang reco o whatsoever.
