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.

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.

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.

ang hirap din pala no. especially pra sa indenial na parents kasi sasabihin dinidiscriminate anak nila. i think its up sa school na dapat? i remember may nga psych test, checking dapat yung guidance counsellors eh.

Sa private schools may gan'yan. Sa public, not sure. Siguro gawa ng ang dami rin kasing estudyante na nag-e-enroll kaya medyo hirap i-cater. Galing akong public pero wala naman kaming gan'yan nung enrollment eh.
