Yes, I remember seeing Karen Davila's son and it made me so hopeful. I have high hopes that, with early and proper intervention, many within the spectrum will get the help (and tools) they need. Admittedly, though, this requires resources. The good thing with Joel Cruz is that he has that.
Mga mars, they can be "taught". But mind u, mga may ASD are the most honest people. Depends sa level too. Daming may ASD na walang intellectual disability, may social skills difficulty lang.
It can be improved through therapy but it also depends on which end of spectrum the child has. Some kids are non verbal and some can lead a normal life but with more structure. It’s not all the same, I really do wish that the Philippines has more program and education regarding ASD.
12:39 yes, I am overly sensitive because this is a sensitive topic. I associate the word "tame" with wild animals. Children who are on the spectrum should be protected, and we adults should be really sensitive about it, instead of being insensitive. Just my 2 cents.
5:32 my child falls in that category, very honest and also very forgiving. My child's a regular student at a regular school. Minsan naging honor student din. But yes, social skills is a big challenge. Most of the time naging loner sa skul cz di cya maintindihan ng iba. But mind you, napaka friendly nya at halos kilala nya lahat ng HS students sa school niya 🙂
@8:39 di mo naman maiintindihan ang ASD sa isang upuan or conversation lang. same sa bata, the parents will also learn along the way how to manage the situation and help their children.
My nephew has Asperger's, yung mildest at high functioning kind. But even so, need pa din ng behaviorial therapy so he can socialize well para hindi mabully.
Autism is not an illness. There's no cure but therapy helps. I have a child who is in the spectrum and what they need is love and care and most especially understanding. They improve over time with therapy and consistent love and understanding at home. therapy is only a guide for families so they can continue them at home dahil mas nakakasama tayo ng mga bata. kulang talaga sa Pilipinas ng awareness sa ganitong bagay. I hope they can explain it to him better so Joel can use his platform to educate more people para malaman nila na hindi sakit ang autism at lalong walang malinaw na root cause bakit nagkakaron ng autism ang isang bata :) i am lucky we live abroad kung saan well supported ang mga batang may autism. sana sa Pilipinas din.
July pa yung sinabi nya sa video. So im sure mas educated na sya sa condition ng anak nya. Im sure now alam na nya na di ito sakit. And wala itong gamot but can be managed thru therapy and ma improved yung way of life ng bata
I hope he would find time to understand ASD more. 1 ASD is not curable, nor a condition to be embarrassed of, most valuable learning I got as a mom of a kid within the spectrum, Autism is not a word to avoid, it's a child to love. Ang sakit lang marinig nung, "nakakahiya" and "pati kami nadadamay" pertaining to a kid. 😔
anak ko may Aspergers syndrome, lock of social interaction,eye contact,pero ang talino grabe, galing sa math at science. Mannerism niya tumatalon, di mapakali sa isang tabi, lagi mo lang I papa alala at dapat advance ang sitwasyon kung di panic attack ang abutin. Kahit Ilan taon pa lumipas, maalala niya kung bad or good ang ginawa mo. His 16 years old na.
My son is diagnosed with milder autism because of social inability. May speech delay and may hearing impairment. He is undergoing speech therapies fortnightly and once a month ung occupational therapy. We are lucky we are based in Singapore, one of the best medical practices are here and open minded ang mga tao. Early intervention, love and attention are the keys para sa mga ASD kids. He is now visually smart, multilingual student and has less behavioural issues.
Sadly, there is no cure to Autism. My son was diagnosed when he was two years old, since then nagtetherapy na sya up until now na he's 11 years old. During the Pandemic na natigil lang ang lahat nagregress yung son ko to Autism level 3. Nagback to school sya this year and nagfocus ako with him now and we are seeing an improvement when it comes ro his self-care. I don't want to judge him with his thoughts about his son kasi talagang ang hirap magkaanak ng nasa spectrum, andaming frustations, challenges and struggles everyday but he also needs to understand na love and care ang kailangan ng ausome kid nya.
I have a niece who is in the ASD. Ang sakit naman ng mga words na ginamit niya. Actually, if sumama kayo during their therapy session you'll know techniques para ma-manage siya. Magagamit natin sa bahay or while travelling. I know it takes a lot sa parte natin, and sometimes what works for someone will not work for them pero tiyaga lang and love.
Kung research din basehan mo, malalaman mo na hindi masyadong supported by evidence yung sinasabi mo. By research, I mean quality studies and sources ha, hindi kung sinu sinong naglalabas lang ng kung anu ano.
I dont wanna judge Joel Cruz but it seems like he’s not totally involved with his son’s therapy session and condition for him to say na ASD is sakit and sana gumaling sya. As a parent, nakakasad naman na hindi mo totally alam yun condition ng anak mo. Well, maybe because he has a lot of kids? Sana hindi na lang nag anak ng madami if hindi kaya bigyan ng attention lalo na yun may ASD, they need love, time, care and understanding, what if magresign yun yaya? Another yaya naman mag aalaga? Kawawa lang kasi i believe na Parent dapat ang primary provider ng time and care not the nannies.
Sa case ni Joel kaya naman niya kahit maraming anak. Kaya niya isupport. He did not expect that the youngest will be in the spectrum. IVF baby yan and most likely dumaan sa maraming screening bago ma-implant sa surrogate. Madami pa siya matutunan along the way. Maybe with his resources pwede ang gawin ipa-seminar lahat ng household helpers nila regarding ASD and how they can help with the child. In that way kahit magresign si original yaya, the rest can help pa rin. Same with the other kids, maybe invite a child psychologist to help them understand the situation.
I have a son also in the spectrum..asd with gdd.. he’s 3 yrs old. Four times a week ang therapy nya. Play and learn with socialization and occupational therapy. Hindi p rin sya ngsasalita pero hindi p kami ngeenrol s speech kasi sabi ng dev ped nya focus muna kami s behavior. S expenses sobrang mahal. Para k ng ngpapaaral ng college. May mga ngbibigay ng free therapy pero pipila k and baka hindi agad maadress ung kailangan. Kaya no choice n mgprivate. Hindi kami mayaman but we are doing our best for our son. Sana mas maeducate p si joel cruz about his child. Hindi ito sakit.. pwede imanage thru therapy. Understanding, love, patience ang kailangan.. hugs s ating mga ausome mommies..
I understand when people say ‘may sakit’ dahil may Autism. Let’s admit kulang talaga ng kaalaman about medical terminologies ang mga tao. Hindi alam ang differences between illness, disorder, condition etc. Iyung simpleng pagtawag pa lang ng autistic vs. Person with ASD eh ginagawan pa ng issue. Ako may anak akong autistic at tanggap ko sya ng buo.
True. Nakakadisappoint ito.I have a niece na may autism pero yung isang tita namin tawag sa bata “may tililing or may saltik”. To think this tita works sa social welfare dept sa municipality.
Pansin ko dumadami na talaga cases ng ASD ngayon. Or dahil ba dati undiagnosed pa? Ung anak ko din nadiagnose ng ASD, ang hirap maghanap ng therapy clinic. Ung isang pinuntahan namin, 300 daw ang nasa wauting list sa speech and occupational
May part din but dumadami daw talaga. Nung nag consult kami sa dev ped she says they still dont know why dumadami yung may ASD but pwedeng maka contribute yung early and frequent exposure sa screen time.
Alam mo napapaisip nga din ako, lalo na ung mga nadiagnose ng ASD na may above average intelligence like Elon Musk, na baka sila ang advanced humans dahil iba sila mag-isip and may mga field na exceptional talaga sila. Hindi pa nga lang sila masyado naiintindihan ng common na tao ngayon. I think napakalaki ng potential nila to elevate ang abilities ng tao and ano pa pwede gawin in terms of technology...
Hindi po gumagaling ang ASD, but it can be improved and tamed thru theraphy. Enjoy your vacay with your fam.
ReplyDeleteYes at sa case nila mayaman naman sila he will be ok like anak ni karen davila, david is working now
DeleteGrabe naman yung "tamed". And "improved" is often used when a person has a medical condition. I think "manage" would be a better term.
DeleteSorry hindi nalinaw sa sentence, Im pertaining dun sa sinasabi nya kasi na nagwawala daw anak nya. Yes tama ka mas correct nganun manage.
Delete12:39 overly sensitive ka. Kung nasaktan ka sa salitang tamed nasaktan ako sa pagiging overly sensitive mo. And I'm not even 12:03.

Delete4:03 how we use words matter because of all its connotations and implications. We should use our words wisely.
DeleteMy gosh ang yaman nya
ReplyDeleteYung sa pabango ba yun kaya sya yumaman?
DeleteYaman nga, kulang naman sa pagkakaintindi about ASD.
Delete8:39 he's new to that situation, marami pa sya matututunan! Wag naman feeling expert!
Delete@8:39 di mo naman maiintindihan ang ASD sa isang upuan or conversation lang. same sa bata, the parents will also learn along the way how to manage the situation and help their children.
Delete8:39 grabe kayo! Give him time! May anak ba kayo na ganun at expert ba kayo agad agad? Stop judging!
DeleteMy nephew has Asperger's, yung mildest at high functioning kind. But even so, need pa din ng behaviorial therapy so he can socialize well para hindi mabully.
ReplyDeleteKahit saan may bully
DeleteYes, that's true because I believe that in the case of Asperger's, parang it's more social talaga - like misreading social cues, etc.
DeleteAutism is not an illness. There's no cure but therapy helps. I have a child who is in the spectrum and what they need is love and care and most especially understanding.

ReplyDeleteUnang mas naging aware sa Pilipinas tungkol sa autism dahil sa anak ni Kris Aquino na si Joshua. Open sila doon. Before that, itinatago ang mga bata.
DeleteWow didnt know Kris has influence on it. Good to know
DeleteHindi po siya sakit it is a different ability of people in the spectrum. Mukhang hindi pa masyadong alam ni Joel Cruz ang ASD.
ReplyDeleteCorrect! Need talaga maeducate ng mga tao sa ASD lalo na dito sa Pinas
Deletedi siguro sya hands-on sa bata kaya mukhang kulang ang nalalaman nya sa ASD.
DeleteJuly pa yung sinabi nya sa video. So im sure mas educated na sya sa condition ng anak nya. Im sure now alam na nya na di ito sakit. And wala itong gamot but can be managed thru therapy and ma improved yung way of life ng bata

ReplyDeletekawawa naman ung bata iniwan at d sinama?
ReplyDeleteSinama po. The child needs to home early lang dahil may therapy.
DeleteIsinama pero umuwi ng mas maaga dahil may therapy siya. Nag-comment ka lang ng hindi naman inintindi ang video.
