Ashley's Autism Journey

Matinding Meltdowns dapat ko bang ishare??

Habang tumatagal mas natututo rin ako bilang Ausome Mom.. Siguro noon may mga times na naisheshare ko yung iba pero as time goes by naisip ko na..

Hindi dapat at hindi rin kailangan ipakita ang meltdown ng anak ko..

Here’s why in my own paliwanag
*Karapatan ng anak ko sa privacy.
Kahit autistic siya, may dignity at privacy siya. Ang meltdown ay vulnerable moment niya hindi niya ito pipiliin ipakita kung kaya lang niyang magsalita.

*Hindi lahat ng tao makakaintindi.
Masakit pero totoo, maraming magbibigay ng judgment kaysa understanding. Ikaw ang sasalo ng comments, pero siya ang magsa suffer in the future kapag nakita ng ibang tao.

*Future implications.
Habang lumalaki sila, mas nagiging aware sila. At minsan, nakakatatak sa kanila yung videos na iyon kapag nakita nila balang araw.

*Pwede namang mag-share without exposing.
Kung ang goal naman natin is to raise awareness or inspire other parents, maraming ways to share..

And i know kami rin, maproprotektahan.

Parenting a neurodivergent child is hard enough hindi na kailangan ng public pressure or unsolicited comments..

Basta masaya kami na nasheshare namin yung mga improvements ni Ash ❤️

It really shows how heavy this year has been for you. Ending some of your son/daughter’s therapies isn’t a sign of failure... it’s a sign that you were doing everything you could with the strength and resources you had. Minsan talaga napipilitan tayo mag-prioritize ng buhay, kahit masakit, kahit parang may guilt.

But please remember this: your love, patience, and daily care are also therapy.
Your child is still growing, still learning, still supported because you never stopped showing up for him/her

If 2025 was full of endings, puwede namang gawing start ng paghinga at pag-recover ang 2026. Therapy can pause and resume. Progress can slow and start again. Kids like him/her blossom even with small, consistent love.

And I want to check in with you, too.
Ending therapies is often not just a financial decision .. it’s emotional, nakakadrain, nakakabreak ng puso. If this is feeling too heavy or overwhelming, you’re not alone. You deserve support too. Laban lang ha? ❤️

Autism is not a curse.

Autism is not something to be ashamed of, hidden, or whispered about behind closed doors. Hindi ito sumpa, hindi parusa, at lalong hindi kabawasan sa pagkatao ng isang bata. Autism is a different way of seeing, feeling, and understanding the world hindi mas mababa, hindi mas mataas, kundi iba. And in that difference, there is beauty, strength, and purpose.

The real curse is the ignorance of people who choose not to understand. Yung mga taong mabilis manghusga kahit hindi nila alam ang hirap at pagmamahal na ibinubuhos ng isang magulang. Yung mga naniniwala sa lumang paniniwala na kapag iba ang bata, may “mali” agad. Hindi totoo yun. What hurts families and children is not autism itself, but the stigma, the judgment, and the lack of compassion.

Autistic children are not broken. They are not incomplete. They are not a burden. They have hearts that feel deeply, minds that work uniquely, and abilities that shine when they are loved, understood, and supported. They have talents, strengths, and potential, pero hindi sila makakagalaw nang malaya kung ang mundo ay puno ng takot at panghuhusga.

Parents of autistic kids are not cursed either. They are chosen, chosen to love in extraordinary ways, to advocate fiercely, and to see the world from a different angle. And though the journey is hard, it is also filled with small victories, moments of joy, and a kind of love that goes beyond words.

Sa lahat ng tao na naniniwalang sumpa ang autism: Please, open your hearts. Open your eyes. Education and compassion can change everything. Instead of judging families, try understanding. Instead of isolating them, try supporting. Instead of calling it a curse, try seeing the beautiful reality they are children who simply need acceptance, love, and patience.

Autism is not a curse.
A child is never a curse.
Love is never a curse.

Ignorance is.

And together, we can end that ignorance by raising awareness, spreading kindness, and standing with every Ausome child and family who deserve nothing less than dignity and respect.
