Of perosotan

Looking at price of a perosotan, slightly above Rp. 1 million. To be installed at the front yard. Made of steel of course..

Should be good for Zaky .. Gives him an exercise area .. Improve his sensory ability ..

Of Hubris and Diana

Bought plenty of hardcover and kids' books this morning. Stopped by at Periplus at Pondok Indah Mall 1 and enjoy the up to 80% discount there.. Had earlier, a few weeks ago, bought "bon voyage" a very revealing collection of black and white photo essays of holidays in years past.

Believe that the programme will end in March.. Now if only they also discount those Merc magazines :)

A Walk in the Park

We went to the city park at Bumi Serpong Damai this morning. Zaky was initially sleepy but quickly picked up pace the moment the W-202 hit the toll way. He was a little bit reluctant to hit the park but later enjoyed the experience, I think. He ran often without encouragement and we can see in his eyes that he is enjoying himself. There is also that intent of demonstrating to us, a feedback loop, regretfuly not always existing with autistic children.

On the way back, stopped over at Ibu Ani's. Her observation brought less than good tidings. She suspected that Zaky may have a little too much venol, hence his black eye bags..

A roller coaster ride of emotion, today.

Schooling options

We're now studying school options for my autistic son. There are a few in Jakarta who proclaimed themselves as school, but I have just been informed that it is unlikely any of the school are properly certified by the education ministry.

Blackberry users are not "autistic"

I often hear people hear illustrating as "autistic", those who are fascinated with certain electronic gadgets, the blackberry amongst them. Can I just say that this is an insult to autistic people and parents with autistic children. Please use the term sparingly and do not denigrate its meaning by confusing it with blackberry users.

It is heartbreaking that -as I found out today- educated people are still not aware of what autisms are and what challenges are being faced by autistic children and parents and also siblings of autistic children. Our lives are already difficult enough. Please do not make it more by your ignorance and disrespect.
