Autism and Us

Most of us are blessed with healthy kids. And as parents, it is our job to choose how to raise our kids rightfully. And as a Muslim, we have so many guides to followthru, examples to take and of course, kita kena ajar halal haram etc.

Sometimes, kita mengeluh penat bila anak kita is not like other kids --- throwing tantrums la, attitude problems la... well, sometimes it is normal for kids to show some behaviour, as long as it is acceptable cos kids will always be kids. we dont expect them to be adults, kan?

Ada jugak very few of my friends yang ada anak with Autism and ADHD or yang related. To me, kawan2 aku ni memang wajar diberi pengiktirafan cos they have what it takes to be a Great Mom!

An old friend from ALevel, ada nak with autism and she handles it positively. and what's greater about it? she is educating others about Autism.

No doubt, for those yang tak tau apa2, sometimes kita nampak nape la budak tu dah besar tapi duk mengamuk2 kat tempat public? sometimes we blame the parents. but ada yang tak tau, some of these cases could be due to autism.

so, let us be more aware of this situation. we may not be facing with autism issues now, but we would never know and it is not wrong to give a hand to others who need it. or atleast be understanding when you face with a situation where it needs your understanding. sometimes, just to be understanding is just what takes... :-)



Thanks Syida for this awareness and knowledge. our prayers are always with you... and we salute for being such a great person.

Thank you Mekja for this!

Knowing a little bit more about autism brings no harm. In fact, children with autism is on the rise. So, knowing a lil' bit more on autism may greatly help others and yourself too..

Yup, a lil' understanding is more than enough..

May Allah bless u for this effort..Amin.
