hi Mehana,

i really do not know what I should say because I have no experience about kids with autism, but yes, I definitely have a personal issue which I have dealt with for years from my childhood. Obviously it is not relevant to share here, and do not want to share in detail, but when I read this sentence of yours, I would like to share one incident which really changed my perception only a couple of years ago.

I remember watching a TV program about some debate in which parents of differently-abled kids were participating. I do not remember the theme nor the program name, but one parent was telling that in the initial stages that he came to know about his child, the parents used to think "why me", but later they realized that God has given them that child only because He knows that those parents will take good care of him, and not leave that child. only then i realized that it relates so well to my situation, and from then on, i used to view things in a different light. of course, it does not mean that my problem has solved, but that incident has helped me to be a better person. also, i feel that God only gives those things which we can handle. and its really heartening to see that your friend has someone like you who can always be by her side in such a trying phase of her life...so I just came by to tell this, although I dont have much knowledge related to your query. I shall pray for your friend to get more strength, and you also keep supporting your friend. There are many ILites here who can share their experience, so wait for a bit more here.

 

I think it must be just a delayed development as not everyone is same in this world. for some, development is quicker and some people grow up bit late. So relax and she should keep putting effort to get her son upto speed. If everyone develops at a same pace and level, then everyone should become Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Narayan Murthy. It cannot happen that way. So, All this disorders are very subjective. So, don't worry about all that. I have seen my friends who used to very aloof and not talk much when they were 7-8 years old. But, today they are very successful in life.

People here have been really helpful and have given you lot of tips.

One more to add is to try Accupressure. It is similar to Accupuncture without using needles. There are accupressure points which can improve concentration and learning and enhances the brain development. I have myself experienced lot of benefits of accupressure for other things (not brain dev). So, it might really help your friend's kid. One link for SI-5 (concentration and learning) below:

All the best!
