We went to NUH-child development unit for Darren's follow up on 1st july 2008. Like usual, she will ask me what kind of program that Darren is on now. Of course i never tell her about the biomedical treatment, as normal physician will cringe at the mention of it. Actually 3 mths ago she suggested that we bring Darren for hearing test at NUH, which will cost us from 40 to 400 bucks, depends on Darren cooperation. If need to, they will have to sedate him to make him cooperate. He is on music therapy so, i was puzzled why they need him to go for hearing test. She told me that some autistic children are deaf in many ways, as music and speech is different. She said some autistic kids can talk after fittin on the hearing aid..... For this one, i am not so sure, i will have to find more resources to see if it's true or not. I will not put my son to the suffering of sedation just for hearing test. He is only a cute 4 year old....
I have stopped the Kitaro CD, as it made him very active. Now we are back to Samonas "3 guitars" CD, and he seems to toned down abit, not so super high in energy and more calm.
And I am posting this interesting poster about autism, i found in Second Life@TM.
