Hi littlesun! It is possible for ASD kids to go into mainstream schools - pending their ability to cope academically and socially. I've come across a couple when I was teaching in a mainstream secondary school. good to let the teachers know so they are more understanding of the child's quirks...

Was ok with John. Went for allergy test and neurofeedback. He was helpful in giving me advice on helping Autism and also the most cost effective way to go about what I wanted for my boy. Did he tell you why he over prescribed vitamins? Must have been a horrible experience for you! I'd be super...

Hi Chopins! Sorry to hear that That's quite a crazy thing for him to do!

Hi Meixuan! You can get Indian costumes from shops on second level of Tekka Market. I've seen a stall at Kovan market selling kids Indian outfits recently but not sure if they have sizes for 2 yo.

Hi Chopins! I've brought my boy to John Yeo. He's with Autism Recovery Centre now I think. Thought he was really knowledgable and is very willing to share info. Read somewhere online he's got child with Autism so he knows first hand what he recommends.

Hi all Mummies out there wondering if your darlings have Autism! I chanced upon this website http://www.firstsigns.org/ It contains a video glossary which shows clips of regular babies/ toddlers and those with ASD categorised in different milestones. Was going a little bonkers trying to...

Hi Mummies! Just found a website that has a whole glossary of videos comparing regular babies/ toddlers and those with ASD. http://www.firstsigns.org/ Categories broken down to different aspects of baby's development. It is lots easier to spot an ASD trait from the videos than to read about...

Hi LostMom! OT will be able to identify the areas your kid has prob w and recommend the necessary exercises to help. My son's OT recommended chewing exercises (non-sugared bubble gum or anything that requires lots of chewing), bubble blowing, blowing balloons n whistles to help muscle tone in...

Hi faith777! Cedele carries bread that's has low gluten content so does Swiss bake. U have to check with the staff to make sure it's milk free too. My kid's turning 6 soon. He's been on GFCF since 3yo. We were very strict with the diet in the beginning n saw results in a week- no tantrums. Once...

Hi faith777! How old is your girl? If milk is no longer her main source of food, u can try other sources of milk - almonds, soy, rice, hazelnut, etc. Was advices to alternate so my son gets a variety of vitamins. I've also been told to supplement omega 3,6 n 9 for brain devt. If you r trying to...

Hi faith777! Your girl doesn't have to stay away from milk because of ASD, unless she's allergic to it or if u r putting her on the GFCF diet. If she's on GFCF diet, there are substitutes for cow's milk and also supplements to make up for what will be left out in a cow-milk free diet.

Hi Srumpee! Since every child with Autism has different problems, it's difficult to say if OT is going to be useful for your boy. Go for the 5 sessions you've signed up for then decide if u need anymore after that. In my case, I thought it was not necessary too before I started. But after the...

Hi Adeline! So far, the online sites I've come across are from the States and UK like this one - http://www.sensorytoywarehouse.com/default.asp? They cost quite a bit especially after shipping. But you can take a look and get some ideas of what to buy. Many of the items can be found in regular...

Hi Adeline! You can buy regular toys like treading toys, any games using tweezers to pick up things to help improve motor skills. U can also get food sets and tea sets to play with your kid- try role playing to teach him how to react. Simple things like whistles n bubbles can help improve their...

Hi Yee! Yes he was. His ST worked with him in stages. First getting him to speak in phrases, then 5 words sentences, then 7 words sentences...She taught him connecting words , descriptive words, etc., and made him practice putting them together. At home, we kept encouraging him to be more...

Hi Srumpee! The OT's Ailin from Planet Learning Centre n no is 64876008. She can identify if a kid has low muscle tone, but I think all OTs should be able to as well. She suggested getting kid to swim cos it excercises whole body. Hi Yee! My boy stopped neurofeedback for now cos am a liitle...

Hi Adeline! We all start somewhere... Am sure things will get better. Jia you! Hi Srumpee! Not too sure about all the signs of low muscle tone, but here are some my boy has. Unclear speech, problems writing and coloring properly, couldn't sit for long, very weak when we asked him to push or...

Hi Adeline! I've been there. Had even wanted to work for them but it didn't pan out in the end. Was really touched cos the 2 people who set it up are not making money from it (everything goes back to the kids) and they are also not parents of SN kids, just people who really want to help. It was...
