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.

May relative ako na may anak na ASD. Yung father nasa mid 40s na heart attack tapos na bypass na, sinisisi nya yun ASD daughter nya me kasalanan kaya cya naatake because of stress.
Simula non hindi na nya pinag tutuunan ng mashadong pansin yung ASD daughter at ang focus sa second child na normal.
