There is a Singapore Autism School in Jurong...opposite Lakeside MRT...beside Yuan Ching Secondary School...U can go down and seek advice.

if u are not confident or have no idea how to handle, then u better don't

hi fireice,

Thanks for the warning, cause I think I'm good with children since my mum is a nanny for a girl, but of course she's normal...but I wooried that autistic children may upset me emotionally..sigh

dealing with children with autism (notice i said children with autism , and not autistic children) is totally not the same with dealing with normal children .

please do not make it worse for them . they need professional help , and not people with no experience whatsoever trying to help them .

if you're really sincere , at least learn something about autism itself . no empty talk .

Kids with austism is an eniterly different story.So try old age home or other places.
