Just last night, hubby mentioned to me about this school he went to check out during the day. He spoke to one of the teachers. He explained to them that my boys are autistic. They gave a reason that most of their 'specialised' teachers are leaving. (I wonder why...). He went on telling me the whole conversation he had with the school about the boys. I was quiet. Not that I didn't hear what he said, but my heart was breaking inside. The sound of my heart breaking was louder than his words. I was speechless.
I am clueless as to how or where to send the boys for their primary education. We initially thought of enrolling them into a special class /education at a normal school. Problem is, I was told I need to get the boys registered as OKU (disabled/handicapped person) with the government first, then I can enroll them. I was like WHAT??? DISABLED??? They are not deaf, or mute, or cacat ka apa. Delayed in speech only! I cried when I heard that. They were only diagnosed autistic within the range moderately to mildly autistic. Not severely autistic. I would understand if they are severely affected but they are clearly NOT.
Since then, we've been scouting for various education institutions / schools to send them to. I just want them to able to grow like other children. I do not wish to institutionalise them, because I know it is not necessary. They can be guided. Thay can be helped. I need help. We... Need help. I am not ashamed to admit so. I love the boys. I love my children. They are... My HEART and SOUL. I live and die for them...
I am clueless. As at this very moment, I don't know how or what to do next... I don't... :'(
