Autism or ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder)


I can feel how special she is. She is so different. I thought that she was just different but still normal.  She acted very weirdly 2 months before enrolling school and a few months in kindergarten made me decided to make an appointment with the hospital. Since 2018, she has been referred to 'Klinik Pakar Telinga, Hidung dan Mata' at HSNZ because of the speech delay. 
   On 16/4/2019 she has been diagnosed ASD! I looked very positive in front of the doctor at that time. Yes, I am ready to accept it but who knows, later it affects my emotion and action. As usual, I act like nothing happen but deeply in my heart and my brain, I feel ‘agitation’ (kekacauan dan serabut). Is this the right term to describe people in sadness are supplemented by sadness as Malay said: “fell over the stairs” (sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga). Even though I am weak, I have no choice. I have to face it. Be patient, it is a test from Allah…
She wrote 'a b c' on the whiteboard. It was my first time realized that she is able to recognize the alphabet. I cannot teach her. She learned by herself.
 After she has been diagnosed ASD, the doctor recommended me to join facebook page ‘Autism Malaysia’ and search ‘Permata Kurnia’. In the ‘Permata Kurnia’ website, I found the link for Autism MOOC. I accomplished the first MOOC from 'Permata Kurnia' currently known as 'Genius Kurnia' entitled 'Basic Autism' (https://www.openlearning.com/courses/ikurnia-asas-autisme) and after that, I wrote the short essay about "what is autism" via this link https://eetechnews.blogspot.com/2019/04/what-is-autism.html.
