Kuya, after getting back from exercise called me "Mommy.... Mommy Mommy!" smiling every time I respond to him :) He seldom does this, so I'm in heaven right now!
And... it took him 8 years to completely answer this very easy question: WITHOUT PROMPT or CUE! Today, before we started our writing exercise, I just routinely asked him "what's your name?" and he shocked me when he answered a complete, 99% clear RUJIM PAUL RULONA! (Rulona sounded like "Nulona") I was stunned!
8 Years!
Thank you Kuya's teachers, therapists and everyone involved to help him grow and live in this world in a slower and a much different style :) Thank You God for the HAPPINESS! :)
Autism - is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication, and by restricted, repetitive or stereotyped behavior. The diagnostic criteria require that symptoms become apparent before a child is three years old.[2] Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize; how this occurs is not well understood.[3] It is one of three recognized disorders in the autism spectrum (ASDs), the other two being Asperger syndrome, which lacks delays in cognitive development and language, and pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (commonly abbreviated as PDD-NOS), which is diagnosed when the full set of criteria for autism or Asperger syndrome are not met.
