⭐️Ausome Travel Tip #2 ⭐️

Waiting time is so challenging with our ausome kids! We make sure to bring Sam’s favorite toys or coloring materials and books to distract her while waiting for our food to arrive. Minsan may gadget din hehe pero thankfully mas preferred ni Sam mag color. And better if washable po ang ating coloring materials para madali maglinis if ever pati table naging colorful😊

May upcoming travel ba kayo with your ausome kids? May ausome tip kami para sa inyo, mommies and daddies!

AUSOME TRAVEL TIP #1: Bring your kid’s favorite things!

Toys, crayons, books, teddy bear, and in Sam’s case, her 8-year old pillow! Yes, pamana pa po ito ng ate Sofia!😊 Buti na lang talaga we brought it with us kahit nakakahiya na syang ilabas ng house kasi look at Sam on her first ever airplane ride! She wouldn’t had been able to get that comfy sleep without her favorite pa (pillow). So bring all the things that would give them the comfort and familiarity that they need.💜

⭐️Affective Empathy⭐️

While cognitive empathy can be lower in autistic people, affective empathy—which is based on instincts and involuntary responses to the emotions of others—can be strong and overwhelming. In fact, newer research suggests that some autistic people may actually feel other people's emotions more intensely.

I woke up in the middle of the night and Sam is not sleeping in the room pero naririnig ko sya sa labas so I checked first sa cctv kung asan sya. Can’t help but laugh at this sight 😂 Anak, may exam ka ba bukas? Pahinga ka na bukas na ulit tayo mag aaral, promise!😅 Lately, nahilig ulit sya sa coloring and palagi nya nire-request mag color.

⭐️ Special Interests ⭐️

Special interests are a common characteristic of autism. They are intense and focused preoccupations with specific topics, activities, or objects.

Obsessive interests can provide a sense of predictability, comfort, and purpose in the lives of people with autism. They can also help people manage uncertainties, start conversations, and feel more self-assured in social situations.

People with autism may become experts in their chosen interests, spending hours studying, researching, and discussing them. They may also engage in repetitive behaviors related to their interest, such as collecting specific items or repeating certain actions.”

Remember Atty. Woo Young Woo and her special interest in whales?🐳

Sa sobrang sipag mag aral nakatulog na po ang ating ausome baby Sam. She had Occupational Therapy this morning and did great on compliance, impulse control, task initiation and completion.🥳 Then follow through at home ng mga lessons and worksheets she did not finish at school. But of course, play and eat in between. Sometimes, sleep. 😴
