As the year comes to a close, I want to take
this opportunity to express my GRATITUDE. Thank you for being a loyal subscriber and supporting me in this journey together.
As a mother of 23 years old son with autism, I realized that so many challenges have happened and no matter what happens, the most important thing is how do I handle and calm myself first before I deal with other matters after me.
My son, Jon got his Autism diagnose at 3.5 years old and he did not have language. He used sign language in school, and he is still having speech therapy now. The most important moments had happened this year and I just want to share with you not to show off but
rather a story that I hope may inspire you.
I was so excited when I heard from her lab supervisor that
finally Jon got a part time job as a Math tutor in his STEM Academy in his community college. He was denied at the first place, but I kept asking them why they did not accept him since they were the ones who asked him to apply for the job. Finally, they offered an interview, and he got the job. Yeayyy! I was basically shouting and screaming happily. Not only that, but he also got his double degrees in Math and Computer Science by this Fall and transfer to university next Spring
2023.
I admitted that things were not very easy at the beginning of his early life. Early
intervention was my priority since my goal is making him talk before the age of 8 (I learnt that the brain stopped developing when the child was 8 years old).
Since I love children and my passion is early intervention, education, research, design and healthcare, I created Your Child with Autism Summits in 2020 and 2021. I interviewed more than 25 experts in autism field. My goal for this summit is all about the education and information. I hope all parents find a way, therapy or any technique to help their children at their best. They deserve a better quality of
life!
As the year comes to an end and a new year begins,
I offer you these important questions for you as my
GIFT:
* What have you learned this year that you want to hold on to?
* What changes have you made that are creating a difference?
* What do you want for yourself and for your children with autism?
Here is the TIP:
Write these three (3) questions and the answers in your daily journal. I found it to be more effective to have a journal rather
than keep in my mind which can be very disturbing. Pen and daily journal are my best friends now...
and I am sure writing your own daily journal can be very therapeutic and rewarding since you can put all your hope, goal, emotion
in that piece of paper.
I do hope you have a better goal for yourselves and your children in this coming new year.
I wish you the very best of 2023 and Happy Happy New Year to you!
See you again soon next year!!!
Dear
