It took me a while to think of a good topic to write on my blog. And then it came to a point that I started to miss something that I enjoy doing before. So I decided to blog it since it is an informative topic =)
When I was a child, I told my mom that someday I want to be a doctor of dogs, A Veterinarian. =) I do remember one time when our dog is sick, benjie is his name. Benjie chew something that make him sick. We can't do anything even Dad. Our nanny can't do anything too. My dad keep saying that there's nothing to worry about he will be just fine. Then when we got home from school, when we're about to check if Benjie's okay, we notice that he's not there. I ran to our nanny and we saw her crying. I ask her, why? Does benjie died? and when she was about to answer, my tears falls down on my face. I can't describe the feeling of losing our dog. My twin sister and I ran to our bestfriend (Micah) to tell the sad news. I told myself that it will never happen again so I decided that I want to be a Vet =)
When I reached highschool, things change. =) I realize that I want to be a Doctor. This time not on animals but on children with dissabilities. I told again myself that when I reached college I will take up Psychology as a major. The other reason why I want to choose that course it finds me interesting and there's a lot of question that needed an answer =)
When I reached college, I took up BS Psychology in Pamantasan ng Cabuyao. I enjoy the course and become very interested and some of questions are answered. When I reached 4th year, we are all required to take OJT in 3 settings: Clinical, Industrial and Educational. Of all the 3 settings, I enjoy the most is the Clinical setting. In clinical setting we can choose among SPED (Special Education-Children w/ dissabilities), Rehab, and Home for the aged. I was assigned in SPED, were I will be the assistant teacher. I thought it was easy, but as days p
asses they started to adopt to us, Since they're behavior are patterned. Children with autism have social impairments and often lack the intuition about others that many people take for granted. Unusual social development becomes apparent early in childhood. Autistic infants show less attention to social stimuli, smile and look at others less often, and respond less to their own name. Autistic toddlers differ more strikingly from social norms; for example, they have less eye contact and turn taking, and are more likely to communicate by manipulating another person's hand. Three- to five-year-old autistic children are less likely to exhibit social understanding, approach others spontaneously, imitate and respond to emotions, communicate nonverbally, and take turns with others. However, they do form attachments to their primary caregivers. Most autistic children display moderately less attachment security than non-autistic children, although this difference disappears in children with higher mental development or less severe ASD. Older children and adults with ASD perform worse on tests of face and emotion recognition. There are many anecdotal reports, but few systematic studies, of aggression and violence in individuals with ASD. The limited data suggest that, in children with mental retardation, autism is associated with aggression, destruction of property, and tantrums. A 2007 study interviewed parents of 67 children with ASD and reported that about two-thirds of the children had periods of severe tantrums and about one-third had a history of aggression, with tantrums significantly more common than in non-autistic children with language impairments.

I started to become interested to becoming a Teacher or Therapist, My dream Job =)
For me, no one can describe the feeling of seeing them on a regular school someday with normal student and all because you help them through early intervention. =)
I was inspired by this child named 'Ethan'. His case is Autism Spectrum.
