I'm currently looking up on autism. It's quite a strange brain disorder. Some even claimed it as mental illness, not a disorder.

The reason I'm so interested in autism is because there's this kid named Ian in Roar who is autistic. Yesterday was first day of the first term of Roar. Ian have been coming for the past a year or so. He's quite hyperactive and has to have a one-on-one care. He doesn't sit still. He is always moving about, running around, sometimes screaming. The other kids seems to be very scared of him, thinking he's mad or something. Yesterday, he "accidentally" bumped into one of the girls and made her cry, I had to comfort her.

Quite frankly, it is a genetic disorder. Don't u just hate when problems exist because of ur genes from ur parents. It's like bad luck really, that by chance u just happen to have one too many chromosomes or not enough to make up a normal child. If I were him, I would blame my parents. His parents must have felt very bad to do this to their child. I kinda felt sorry for them, given that I cannot keep him still for like 5 minutes and they have to face this every single day.

But, it's glad to see him coming to Roar. God works in miraculous ways. Maybe it's mend to be, maybe, who knows?? Only God knows. So, I'm looking up to see how to deal with kids like these. Btw, Roar yesterday was great. The yr 2 kids have left and we have got new prep kids. Some of them were teary and clinging onto their parents. But, most of them were great when we brought them in.
