QQ: Tian is ok. she's NOT autistic..
autism is a neurological disorder.. it is not something which will be triggered when tian is left to go to bed herself.. assure jay with this.. likewise.. if a child is diagnoised with autism.. going to bed together with the parents beside him/her wun help the disorder too..
Autism is not the same as make belief play. in fact. autistic children.. displays very clear and obvious signs.. like keep spinning themselves round and round.. either make belief extremely weird things or they cannot go beyond what is establoished..
miser always say teng autistic. i told him.. 'if teng is autistic, he wun flirt with waiter/waitresses liao!'.. autistic kids cannot recognise social cues. and that is the key to distinguish if a kid is autistic..like they cannot match a smiling face to joy.. and neither can they recognise that you are angry. hence these children are often termed as 'notti'.. and has coupled issues like hyperactivity...
by 6 weeks old, most infants should have the 'social' smile and aknowledge parent's presence by looking in the face.. if that is missing or very delayed. then high chance of autism. but having said that. autism is diagonised by a battery of tests.. not easy to diagnose. coz like autum say. there is a wide spectrum.. the apserger (wrong spelling)'s sydrome.. high functioning and low functioning autism.. some pple. autistic. but can function nromally.. as long as special accomodation or maybe like u dun move their things around.. must be there.. must be there kind. others.. really cannot..
autism is very fascinating to me..
actually is tian is not crying or reacting badly.. why not? that's the pt.. if jay wants more bonding time.. then it is strictly bonding time leh. cannot be phrased as u being cruel wor.. neither with tian become zi bi.. hmm. if tian ain't that vocal. then u got to worry liao
AA: teng will say.. 'only popo will pompom (pat me), mama wun pompom rayner right?' then he answered his own question 'right'.. cute leh this boy
