a "lurker" no more
I go there everyday almost, the public autism awareness website for news. News of what? a cure, maybe not, it will always be there for life. Improved resource treatments available and explanations defintely. I follow most of the stories and this year has been full of them.
I like most is the basketball star, and the piano player in a school activity. Why, my son cannot play basketball -- he plays it like soccer :-) and my son plays the piano, very well i might add. He started piano lessons a year ago now.
I pray in silence when I read about kids missing and say thank you God! when they are found safe.
I am sad when I read news of death especially in accidents involving water. ReyMey, he knows how to swim. We had him taught, considered it kinda like his other therapies, necessary. We have a pool and he loves the water.
I get encouraged by the success of fundraisings and wonder how can it be adapted here in the PI (Philippine Islands) .
Hence yes I have seen the video 'autism everyday' and I signed a protest initiated by leftbrain/rightbrain blogger mainly because it is INCOMPLETE. it is not what you would consider entirely accurate. My child, he did most all of those shown initially but they left the part out that with interventions they improved, so I felt they did not show the finished product a child looking forward to a life with a better future.
Anyway It's Disability and Rehab Week here in the PI and this saturday my hubby and I are going to watch the first documentary on autism here in the Philippines. It is called 'Alyana, a study of autism in the Phils' film by Miranamedina. I am hoping it inspires awareness about what autism is and show that if interventions are done they have a future of becoming independent and some philantropist would make a hefty donation to sponsor the interventions of the children who cannot afford it.
