Hi there,

I have a child who has Autistic Features. He is 2 years and 8 months old now and will be going into a special school in August. I just like to point out to everyone who has a autistic child is to accept and appreciate god for giving you this child. At first, I was very unhappy and upset but after awhile, I managed to talk to my husband and both share our views on our son and his future. I simply just want him to be happy and understand the basic knowledge of growing, other than that, to be independant.
I hope anyone out there who also have the same problem can share with me. I will be much appreciated if we can exchange our feeling and may even become friends.
I can be contactable on 9251 0252. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Regards

It was nice to speak to you on the phone Jean.

Anyone who has a child with autism can be reassured that it is not a mental disorder but a biological disorder that can receive medical treatrment with good chances of improvement / recovery. There is a gorwing body of reserch from the USA to support this finding.

There is an Autism Conference here in HK this August - (www.conference.autismpnhk.org) with top researchers from around the world! Information on biomedical approach and therapy.

Theray (ABA) is available in HK by Autsim Recovery Network (a parents, non-profit making organisation) at www.autismrec.net The therapists are very dedicated.

Another useful HK website with information on the biomedical approach is autism parent network foundation (www.autismpnhk.net)

Dr Trodd, Shui-On Centre, is very experienced in helping autistic children with the biomedical approach, my son has made huge improvements in just a few months.
 
hey loraine,
is that you?
i was glad to run into you the other day at the cinema. say hi to your boy for me. i'm sure we'll run into each other again!
 
Yes I'm going to the conference. Its over 2 days, so my husband will go on one day and I will go on the other day (so one of us can look after our son). And I think one day might be all I can handle!
 
Have anyone tried any of the following places?

Hello there again,

Have anyone tried any of the following places:

1) Wise & Potential Development centre

http://www.potential-develop.com

2) Paymond Lee Speech Therapist/New page

http//www.speechtherapy.com.hk / http//www.newpage.hk

3) Child Growth & Development Center

http//www.arlen.com.hk


Anyway, I've started the speech therapy at Raymond Lee's centre with my son Marvin (which is also called New Page) and cost $700 per session. He explained the minimum effect for a child's improvement is around 3 months so I am trying this out. Keep you up with the news later on if there are improvement on Marvin.

Dr Tim Trodd

Has anyone consulted Dr Tim Trodd on treating children that are autistic/ with autistic features? I'd like to take my 2 yr old son to see him and would welcome and input anyone has on Dr Trodd.

many thanks
 
There is a free workshop offered by Autism Partnership Foundation, a charity for children with autism, every month and on September 15, 2007 (Saturday), they will host a workshop on building spontaneous speech with children with autism. check it out at www.autismpartnershiphk.com

Hope it helps!
