Dear all, I'm new here. Just to share my experience. We noticed our boy was different at 2 years old. Not talking, poor motor skills and lack of social interaction. We started OT and followed by intensive ABA at 2.5 yrs old. At 3.5 years, my boy was diagnosed as autistic. The acceptance stage...

Hi Ying Ying, Sorry for the late reply. I just returned to work from my maternity leave and this week has been crazy. I do feel v guilty towards my boy as I'm spending so little time with him now. Alan, I read your blog on your son. Nicely done. Actually your son is very adorable and has...

hi Ying Ying, I have spoken to this parent couple of days ago. His son is currently in St Gerard's. You may want to check with him? I did consider the school previously but then its quite a distance from where I stay so I did not call to find out more also. You want to PM me so that I can...

Hi Kath, Not a problem. My son is currently in Genesis School for Special education. The half day programme is fr 9-12pm. Full day is up till 3pm I think. They are more like a school and not so much of child care. And they follow the school holidays as fixed by MOE. If you are still keen to...

Hi Kath, There ain't many childcare centres that specialised in ASD kids. The closest I've heard of are the Integrated Child Care programme. Even then I heard the waiting list is very long. Are you looking for a half day or full day childcare? My son is currently in half day special...

hi wongsl, what makes you suspect that your son is autistic? My son is also turning 3 next month. We brought him to see the PD before he turned 2. Then the PD recommended OT and Speech therapy. He was too young to be diagnosed yet. We went for private OT and Speech for a couple of months...

Hi Yvonne, thanks for the tips. Will try out some of the suggestions.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here can give advice on GFCF meals. I think for lunch and dinner its not too difficult. But I'm really having a problem for breakfast. Tried giving my son GFCF bread and he din like it all. I tried it as well and really the taste is very bland. I tried making GFCF...

Hi all, I just delivered my second kid and currently engaging the same confinement lady who did for my first delivery. She is very good and experienced with taking of the baby and most important of all, she cooks very well. I would like to recommend her to those looking for a good and...

hi Chong, Yes. I do feel lonely at times too. As friends around me talk about sending the kids to playgroups, nursery, enrichment classes etc, I've to take him out of mainstream for now to focus on ABA therapy. We just started on GFCF diet and bio-medication about 3 weeks ago. Can't see the...

Thks Kay Kay. Its rather far from where I stay. Good for you that you found a place for your son and they can focus on the area that requires improvement. My son is 2.5 years old. Thinking of where to place him next year.

Hi Kay Kay, May I know where is Kidscove located? How long are the classes and what do they focus on? Rgds.

Hi Ying Ying, I just PM you again. Think the last msg did not get through. Rgds.

Ying Ying, just PM you. Let me know if you did not receive the msg.

Hi Ying Ying, I was in the same situation as you. I wanted him to be in the mainstream so badly. In the end, we got to make some sacrifices. I did not see my son benefiting from the childcare as he is not interacting with the other kids at all. So I decided to go full time on ABA for time...

hi Ying Ying, I've PM the details to you. My son is on the waitlist at Rainbow. But understand they use the TEACCH program which is different from ABA. If I sent him to both, I scare he get confused.

Hi Ying Ying, I stayed at Holland Rd area. The nearest K4K centres are at Choa Chu Kang and Toa Payoh. Very far away. I spoke to the principal and she is a v nice lady. They will assess the kid to see if suitable for one to one or group. But i prefer group cos he is already on one to one ABA...

hi. I would like to seek advice from those facing the same problems as me. My son currently 2.5 years is in the queue for diagnosis at KKH for autism. There are a few strong signs as he is non verbal and stims a lot. He is on 3 hrs daily, 5 times a week ABA therapy. Also on CC for 3-4 hours a...

Hi 2 x Mum Thanks. My next step is to bring my son for psychologist assessment and i dont think i want to wait so long for the one schedule by KKH. Can anyone tell me where to go for assessment? I see mentions of ARC, Rainbow, etc. Are the assessments all identical?

hi, My son currently at 27months is showing signs of autism. I'm also frustrated by the long wait at KKH. We went for a development assessment and the doctor said to be diagnosed, we need to wait for another 5-6 months for psychologist assessment. I heard from some in the forum that you went...
