My son, Muhammad Tajul Iman was born on 15th June 2003. He was like a normal boy when he was born until he was up to 2 years. We noticed something not right in him. He's physically normal, but there are a few things that makes us so worry. When he was 2 1/2 year old, we referred him to Hospital Besar Kuala Terengganu as I noticed my son always knocked his head for no reason. Also, I noticed he was not able to speak or communicate with us thoroughly, no eye contact, and temper tantrums. After a series on treatment and follow up, the Doctor at HUKM diagnosed him to have Autism and ADHD (Attention Defisit Hyperactive Disorder) problem. It was in July 2005. That was only 2 months after my Phd registration at UKM Bangi. Now, he is already 8 years, eventhough he's yet to speak, but he seems to have lots of improvement since I sent him to MaIA (UKM Autism Lab) in March 2009. I hope this blog will help you to get a clear picture on what is Autism and help you to cope with your children, students and also with those Autistic person in your neighbourhood.
We need to educate parents, teacher and caregivers, also to help them to cope with their daily lives. It's not an easy way to deal with children with Autism. We're chosen by the God and to have such a good commitment in our lives, education and all the support materials are crucial for us to survive and to help other people in need. Not just among us, we hope this page will be able to make people out there to understand more about Autism World. So that they will always be there to support us. Thank you.
