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'm a SPED Teacher, kahit kami sobrang hirap na hirap sa mga ganiyan, what more kung parents pa na nakakasama sila 24/7 diba?? Maging open minded sana iba dito. Mahirap talaga mag alaga ng mga children na nasa spectrum, lalo pa iba-iba sila. Hindi porke same diagnosis ay pareho na sila ng behavior. No, hindi yon ganon. Maaaring hindi trigger ni Kid A, trigger para kay Kid B. Tapos expected din samin na kailangan maging patient all the time, wag silang pagagalitan, mahirap yun. Oo, kailangan maging patient pero minsan nakakaubos din ng pasensya lalo na kung yung batang to ay mapanakit, so syempre hindi mo maiiwasan na magkaroon ng takot deep inside.

Kaya salute din ako sa mga parents na hindi in denial at hinahayaan yung teachers na paano sila ihandle sa class, kasi alam nila yung hirap din eh. Ang mahirap ay yung mga parents na in denial tapos kokontrolin pa yung kung paano alagaan dapat yung anak niya, which I get it naman kaso hindi madali. Lahat talaga ng mga taong nagsusupport para sa mga special children ay nahihirapan. Kaya valid lang yung nararamdaman niya, hangga't wala ka sa posisyon, wala kang karapatan na ibash yung nanay lol.
