Autism Awareness

Messed up? Don’t lose this…P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E

Okay let’s spell the word again!

P – A – T – I – E – N – C – E

One of the important ingredients in bringing up a child with autism is PATIENCE.

Let’s have some situations here 👇👇👇

In a snap! Is your child just terribly cry and scream unctrollably? Whew!
Ooops…… That’s loud
my eardrums gonna break…..

WHAT’S THE MAGIC WORD?

P – A – T – I – E – N – C – E

Yes you say it right!

Have you ever experience regularly cleaning the house but still a MESS?
I mean a toy mess like stuffed animals, puzzle pieces, lego blocks everywhere!

And don’t forget about the food mess. You know juice spill on the floor, biscuit crumbs, etc.
And you’re sooo sick and tired of it?

👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄

Wait before you scream…

REMEMBER THE MAGIC WORD!

How about this one? Going to a mall or any public places with temper tantrum lying down on the floor.
Whoa! Get up now kiddo!
Come to momma now!
Well, time to sleep!

👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄

Take a deep breath and reminisce the magic word.

Everytime you want to say something, he/she just ignore what you say.
Hey listen to daddy!
Why covering your ears baby?

👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄👄

I think you know now what to do.

All of this misbehavior are just part of their condition that need to be addressed.

They also need to be disciplined. But in a positive way.

Remember that they also have feelings.

They feel sad when you raise your voice at them.

They feel disappointed whenever they can’t follow your instructions.

I do believe they also don’t want to disobey you but they just don’t know how.

Whenever you’re messed up!

ALWAYS GO BACK TO THE BASIC!

That’s your loving child. A blessing from God. Part of your life.

  1. I believe patience should always be partnered with lots of understanding why the child with autism behaves in a certain way– like tantrums, crying and screaming, hyperactive. Most of the time, there is a reason why the child reacts that way— and the moment you know how to address it, you are helping the child manage his/her behavior.
    I’ve been following your posts, and i admire you and Manny for the way you handle it. No need to mention about patience — you both have been abundantly gifted with it, so with the family acceptance. It is also a big factor that the child feels and treated as equal by family and his/her peers.
