A father of a fatter autistic girl
by Francis Alexander
I am father of a 18 year girl residing in malaysia where chances for improvement or help with an autistic child is limited. After a child has gone thru a process of learning in a slow learner program, there is no room of moving to another institution or work. Another important aspect is security expecially a girl. So this has make us also sick parents. I am going on 54yrs and my wife at 53. We have only 2 girls and my daughter is second. She has turned herself more of a loner and seldom talks to us unless she wants us to take her to the book shop. She can speak but only 2 to 4 words and if she does not know to say she writes in the white board. So I hope you can advise us how to cope. Communications skills are not good from the day we know her to be autistic. Please provide us some good tips which we as parents can help her. Click here to read or post comments. |
