Done with my final exam peeps. And here I am to update something about Ayesha. You know what? It's a bit tough actually to be a mom to a special kid. But you can't slip and need to be tough. like.. forever! That's why i used to call myself a superwoman. Even though I'm not, but with that title I will try as hard as I can, to be a superwoman. a supermom and a super wife. Insyaallah..
Ok let's talk about Ayesha. Ayesha now needs to attend 2 hour class on Tuesday and Friday, 9.45-11.45am. As working mom, i spend most of my time with Ayesha only on weekend. So Weekdays, we have done nothing much with her. Tapi bila masuk PPIA, memang banyak aktiviti untuk Ayesha kat sana even though kelas tu cuma untuk 2 jam. And the teachers semua adalah sangat strict and I love it.
So am here to share some experiences, thoughts and techniques untuk panduan mereka yang juga punya anak autisme. Yang paling penting, treat them as normal people. And according to Teacher Sara, autistic children is like a King! And I'm strongly agree with what she said. So from now on, you're no more queen Ayesha! You have to do everything on your own!
Early stage ni, macam sesi perkenalan juga. Agak susah juga untuk cope sebab autistic kid ni dia suka dengan benda yang rutin. Bila kita cuba tukar rutin kehidupan dia, dia akan rasa tak selesa, marah and tantrum. Ayesha ni dia marah tau. Bila nampak je muka teacher Sara, makin kuat dia menangis. Tersedu-sedu dia menangis macam kena rotan. Teacher Sara suddenly kata please dont feel bad. Hey! I'm ok!
Semua bahan yang Teacher Sara gunakan untuk Ayesha adalah benda yang kita ada kat rumah. Cuma kena lebih creative untuk create new thing untuk anak autisme kita. Early stage ni Ayesha banyak buat sorting. Shape sorting, colours sorting.
See? everything you have at home kan? guna sepit baju pun boleh. Bab sorting ni Ayesha dah master. Cuma kelemahan Ayesha, dia tak suka focus. So nak cepat, dia terus je masuk dalam bakul tanpa nengok ape shape n ape warna. So i have to shout focus! and tarik kepala dia kasi letak dalam bakul. haha
Threading ni pun Ayesha dah master. Actually semua barang-barang ni dipinjamkan oleh PPIA and dia akan tukar each week. This is called homework where we have to use this at home everyday. Lagi kerap, lagi baik. For moms out there yang masih duduk diam, tak buat apa, layan anak macam raja, Come! Email me and i'll guide you. And share whatever experience i have.
More to share later peeps.
