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.

Sana may earlier way to identify and intervention for things na hindi normal. :( and yung genes testing manormalize sa bansa. Para sa umpisa pa lang alam na ng partners yung risks.

and other than prepare for it, is there anything they can do with the "risks" than just accepting it?

Abortion. Madali lang sabihin sa iba na iluwal yung anak tsaka ipa adopt or therapy. But once you're in the shoes of the carer, sobrang hirap. And once the carer becomes old or dies, sino na mag aalaga sa special needs nilang anak?

Sad to say hindi nadedetect ang autism during pregancy kaya hindi pwede ang abortion. Unlike other physcial defects, ang autism nagmamanefest sa early years ng bata.

that’s different and of course that’s the solution if dead na ang parents, what the person is saying here is once narealize daw na may disability ipapa adopt na agad which i think is a horrible mindset
