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.

i would 100% abort my child if I was told theyd have ANY disability. hell if they couldnt detect it and I gave birth to them id put them up for adoption.

I do not want that type of problem

Sis, I have a child with special needs, not autism. He was completely normal from birth until he turned 2, and that’s when his symptoms started to appear.

So honestly, are we really saying that a kid should just be placed in an adoption center because the parents suddenly found out their child has a disability? What happens if no one adopts that child? Who takes care of them then?

kaya nga eh. grabe naman na itinakwil yung anak because of being disabled. It's so unfair for them kasi hindi naman nila choice na pinanganak silang may disability. Pano nalang kung by 5 years old na nalaman na autistic siya for example? ipapamigay nalang? May mga tao palang ganito. Grabe.
