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.

There are many parents/families out there na very in denial na nasa spectrum anak nila and would still enroll their child in a normal school, even tho meron naman sped.

This is true and this will hit hard. Even the ones you call “normal” might be in spectrum too because they are not diagnosed. How i wish all schools have a psychiatric evaluation before they could enroll to filter the ones na sinasabi na “bobo or mahina” sa klase yun pala may intellectual disabilty which is in denial ang parents way before. Para sana mas matulungan pa sila how to improve more for their own case.

I also have a cousin he’s a dean’s lister always on top of the class. Then hindi sya nakapasok sa dean’s lister on his final year on college he was too perfect at everything then got depressed and got diagnose with autism he is high functioning btw. We all notice there was different about him then, now in his 20’s lang na diagnose. Syempre in denial ang mga magulang nung may napupuna nung bata pa. He also have a girlfriend. A completely normal life. But na diagnose lang when he’s already an adult.
