After watching the video about Families of kids with autism by Quarterlybuttery talk about their successes, I have a better perception of how courageous families with intellectual disabilities such as Autism are. The video previews words describing how autism affects families through play, work, home, sleep, hope, vacation, relationships, sisters, brothers, mother and father. Yet they make the challenge of raising their child a positive experience by providing the appropriate accommodations for their child. They show love support and sacrifice that helps their child develop and learn as normally as possible.
Parents in normal families must give up things they love to help their children. This is also true in this real-life family situation of taking care of a child with Autism. Different parents talking about the types of autism their child gives them knowledge, ideas and support. Parents can get disappointed and sadden by the news of their child having autism. Like in any other major disappointed in life they pick up the pieces and equip themselves to fight this lifelong challenge in every way they can.
Families of children with autism partner with educators to provide appropriate accommodations for learning and development when they collaborate with the educators and special workers to put together an appropriate IEP plan for their child. This plan set a standard for areas that each child need help in by accessing them and helping them to meet their goals.
I can relate to the parents with the son not wanting to go the basketball games because of the loud noises. We took our grandson to a basketball game and he would become furious when he heard the scoreboard noises. He would hold both of his ears with his hands and scream. I had to take him outside from the noises. I am very curious or amazed of how he can tolerate listening to drums and love playing drums verses not wanting to hear the noises from the scoreboard at a basketball game. He was around four years of age at that time, he is seven now and I have seen him mature so much. I want to believe that maybe that scoreboard sound doesn’t bother him anymore. I guess I should take him to a game and find out.
