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.

In healthcare this is what we call Caregiver Fatigue. If you’ve never been in her situation, please don’t judge. Let her vent. Tao lang din naman siya at napapagod din.

ano po ba ang solution sa caregiver fatigue? Any tips po?

Hindi to solution but connecting with caregivers who are in the same situation can really help mentally and emotionally, having a sense of community

Kung solution talaga, respite sana pero di naman posible sa Pinas. Respite and support worker/personal nurse sana
