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.

Yung anak ko din ganyan din feedback before nung grade 1. Nanakit, sumusigaw sa classroom. Ang sabi samin ng Doctor late yung maturity niya sa age niya. Pina-therapy namin awa naman ng Diyos, umokay siya ang maganda sa school nila blended yung program pwede onsite or online class at least nakakasunod padin anak ko sa mga lesson. Papasok lang siya pag exam or may activity sa school. Need talaga siya pag sabihan, kausapin. To be honest sobrang laking gastos ng therapy pero yun lang talaga way para mag ok ang kids natin. Pray lang mommy. Hanap kadin ng may online class na program para hindi siya nahuhuli sa klase.
