Personal What's It like for A Middle Class Mom to Have a Child With ASD

It's a struggle. I am not ashamed to classify myself as middle class. My family relies on my sole pay check and we have been for the last 3 years. Now, when I go into forums reading which Developmental Pedia to choose for their autism angel, on my side it's where do I get the funds to pay for that highly priced check up and assessment?

Personal| Slowly Coming to Terms That My Little Bossing Has Autism

ASD or Autism Spectrum Disorder is a condition I never thought I would come across in my own family. I remember watching a movie titled Ipagpatawad Mo starring Vilma Santos and Christopher De Leon where their son, Jun-Jun had Autism and would totally be in a world or his own.

That's how I understood Autism - a condition where the person affected is in a world of their own and does not interact at all. I was mislead all these years. I was told that my little boss may have Autism but then I refused to believe so. I believed that he was just "delayed".
