Vision Screening @ Rainbow centre (A school for children with intellectual disability, multiple disabilities and autism)

Everytime when I have vision screening, I never fail to feel reluctant and dreadful to wake up because it either always starts very early, or that I have to travel far. but the weird thing is i always feel much alive when i'm carrying out my tasks, and I must say i really enjoyed interacting with these needy people, or be it just general public. A sense of satisfaction i must say, and this brought back what miss lek told me before, that you must really enjoy what you're doing if not sooner or later you'll be drained out by it ..

Anyways, I've chatted with one of the young teacher over there, and I came to know their jobs better and understand a little more about Autism.

Autistic kids do not just live in their own world and are always quiet, hiding somewhere in the corner. Autism is a brain disorder that impaired social interaction and communication, and people with autism have repetitive and restricted behaviour.

Some of the symptoms include:
+ Purpoely movement like hand flapping, body rocking
+ Compulsive behavious as they appear to follow rules
+ Perform daily activities the same way each time and repeat the same thing over and over again especially if they like doing it. eg: turning a door knob, imitating the tv characters
+ Easily distracted
+ Focusing only 1 thing at a time
+ Self injury ( which i've seen it, when they are under stress, or facing unfamiliar strangers or envirnoment which is out of their routine life)

(Autism can also be accompanied by hyperactivity)


Here are the photos (:
