I feel you, Ivan. My eldest has been diagnosed with ADHD, and my secondborn is neurotypical. We have to undergo years of occupational and speech therapy for my eldest. Although my eldest is now enrolled in a traditional school, he is having a hard time forming social bonds. The fear of my son's career and social acceptance is always there at the back of my mind.
Good to know that, bud. At least your first son is in regular school. My eldest is still in SNED. Quite challenging especially since he is non-verbal, plus he is quite challenged in following more complex instructions and grasping advanced concepts. But that’s our reality and we have to deal with that.
Then yung subject pa nga ng acceptance. I don’t think the world is truly ready and inclusive. Typical office setting nga lang we judge other people na — ningas kugon, sabaw, etc. without understanding first na baka yung tao na iyon ay undiagnosed ADHD or autistic pala. Hirap din mag blend in, sa totoo lang, kahit gaano pa tayo mag-mask.
Hay, again, long way to go bud kaya takot na takot ako.
