Rainy season again

This month the rain seems to be pouring a lot. I hate this kind of weather, as bringing Darren to his school & therapies will be a big hassle. He likes to play with rain & I have difficulty keeping him under the umbrella. hehe

Today he went for his intervention at PCS JW like usualk, but the timing has been changed to 1.45 PM as the centre has something on in the morning so Mrs. Mohan was unable to teach Darren. When I arrived at the centre to pick him up, I was amazed to see him sitting on the chair, alone! Mr.s Mohan has gone to another room to get something, and he was actually sitting down there to wait! This is big improvement. I am really happy for him.

We got our new maid finally. A refined lady, who is very patient with the kids. I hope this one will be able to work for us for long as I like the way she handles the kids. And they adore her also. She is just like my mom, gentle & kind.

Darren doesn't cry for no reason now & he enjoys playing with Derrick in the evening when he is back from childcare. I am really really happy to see this kind of improvement in him. Eventough my granny just phoned me earlier, to tell me that she helped me to ask the "god" in my hometown about Darren's condition and the god actually said that he was born that way, means the chance of recovery is slim, but we never at the 1st place expected him to recover and function like a normal kid. Our wish for him is just that he is able to take care of himself when we are gone, as this society is cruel to the disables.

Another mother at Fei Yue told me yesterday about her experience at IKEA. They have those playroom for the kids which you can leave the kids there while you are shopping. SO, she left her autistic son there to play with his elder brother. But while they are shopping halfway, they heard their names being called through the paging system in the store. And she was wondering why. The satff actually ticked her off because she didn't inform the staff about her child condition, and he actually dig his pampers and smell his hand, and other parents took their kids away for the fear of catching any germs from this unhygienic boy....gosh! I hope autism awareness movement will be the next campaign the government wanna think of. If i were her, I will feel very sad and I will probably cry within... I don't know what to say, really.....

Okay, off we go to kyoko's place now :-) Another 30 mins of crying.......
