When I am not at work in our world, I am actually hard at work in my the other world induging in my hobby of Autism with my son with this special need. My challenge is to maintain & enjoy a very fine balance of state of flow in both world. And this is not for one day but every day since day 1 when he was diagnosed back in mid 2008 until as long as our journey can go.
Today is Children's Day, he was so blessed with presents from teachers who he has crossed path and make an impact to how he was shaped until this far in his learning journey. Truely he had enjoyed himself greatly to the celebration put up by the teachers in school who have worked hard to make it happen. All of his teachers are just so amazing!
He has in returned made a video log to thanks his teachers:-
Slowly but surely the children have grown up while their parents have grown older gracefully.
It takes a special and superb family together in our strive to find a normal life in the midst of imperfection, this is what Love is all about, and along the way, we build action into our Hope with Faith, Positive outlook, mindsets and thinking to carry us to where we are today. There are still plenty of challenges yet to unfold in this journey less travel and we must continue to self educate and hands on in parallel to ready to face the enemies head on in that world of social dis-connect, not forgetting to seek every joy and peace in between our walk.
I am thankful for my family and wish both my children and other children as well A Very Happy & Blessed Children's Day.
Taking this blessing to share a topic on Brain Imbalance:-
Left brain (Over stimulating, hyper active)
- All about Details, looking for pattern, sequence- Analysis the pattern and predict what is going to happen in the future and come with best action for the future
- Control small muscle like typing or moving in sequence or playing piano
- Provide Verbal speech or communication, spelling, reading, writing, vocab, receptive language
- Verbal IQ
- Declarative memory, explicit, remember what we learn, conscious memory
- Positive emotion: happy surprise and anger
- Approaching the world behaviour, motor driven
- Love familiarity, love repetitive task
- Activating the white blood cells and the immune system, provide anti-bodes to attack
- Light touch
Right Brain (under activation)
- See everything all at once, see big picture
- Control big muscle, feel our entire body, balance spatial relationship, self awareness
- Non verbal, facial expression,emotional feeling, eye contact, tonal voice body posture, social skill foundation
- Foundation of verbal communication
- Performance IQ, EQ
- Learning implicitly or sub-consciousness
- Negative emotion: fear disgust and sadness
- Withdrawal behaviour,
- Sympathetic nervous system controlling of digestive system
- Deep touch
- reasoning
Processing imbalance between 2 hemispheres of the brain, where problem is, cross talk deficit, function disconnection are neurology in nature which is complex and difficult to understand at times by people. He is more left brain driven and under work on the right, while neuro typical kid can be self calibrated to maintain a healthy balance, he has to go through the hard way to calibrate & recalibrate through trials & practise. This imbalance can be improved with professional help & self practises in collaboration with teachers at his special school & various therapists we engaged. The only challenges I found as a parent is that there is no one solution fits all, as every child in this spectrum is uniques in their own special way. In everything we do, there is no quick and easy way out, everything neuro typical child learn naturally, they just have to be taught, by applying Love is patience.
We now look forward to working hard with him to ready his SA2 in both English & Maths subject for strong finish to term 4 2012.
