Have been teaching this particular class for a month. I noticed one particular kid to be very very anti social but i never suspected anything more. one day decided to ask the principal and i found out the kid is autistic. I didn't know much abt autism before this and never thought i would ever teach one. and i feel very sad. and if i never asked, i'd never know and i keep pushing him to work harder not knowing. but u know what, he is a very smart child in my opinion, he worked hard, he's obedient and i know he'll grow out of it someday. The first day he came to the centre, he was very very left behind and he didn't talk at all, and so the principal told his parents tht they cant teach him anymore but the parents asked for the kid to b given a chance, even if he was slower, its ok as long as they still let him try. and today he has accomplished a lot. compared to some university student tht don't even know how to use computers!! (i know one ). I think its important parents pay attention to their child's development n growth at young age, and never to b in denial. if there's somethig wrong with the kid, they should accept it and there may be ways to cure it if known earlier. i went to search for more infor on autism today and i really hope i can help him more.
