In light of autism awareness month, although many of us live it heavily day to day with our children, I'd love to share our journey with friends and families of Mzameni Learning Center.

Miyanda is our first daughter who was officially diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder just before she turned 5, she is now 7 turning 8 in June.

As typical with many other children who present with a varied number of signs, Miyanda's development kept lagging behind her peers. So at about 15 months when she didn't have any proceeding speech, didn't always readily respond to the call of her name or point out to a wanted object, her pediatrician referred us for further evaluation. Seeking help early helps in guiding and directing your child into resources that impact profoundly in their development. Soon after she was able to start occupational, speech therapies and a special education teacher visit once a week.
Our local public school also provides a very individualized approach to the type of learner Miyanda is, meeting her at level she is on and setting realistic attainable goals for learning.

She continues to thrive in psychosocial, emotional development as she gains skills outside of the classroom with life skills.

In addition, we also explored an alternative treatment of stem cells (huge topic for another day) and have seen results at play.

As a mom, it warms my heart to know dedicated, compassionate people such as Mrs Thwala who continously give it all in assuring that our kids maintain the value and purpose they bring to this world.
I am extremely proud of Mzameni Learning Center establishment.

PART 3 Of AUTISM AWARENESS.

let us look at stimming.
what is stimming?
it refers to repetitive movements or sounds that are often exhibited by autistic individuals, particularly children. These behaviors can include hand-flapping, rocking, spinning, vocalizations, or other repetitive actions.

Stimming serves various purposes and can be a way for autistic children to:

1.Self regulate which can help them manage anxiety, emotions, or sensory overload.
2.Express excitement or joy
3.Stimming can be a manifestation of happiness or excitement.
4. Focus attention: Some children may stim to help them concentrate on a task or to block out distracting stimuli.
5. Explore sensory experiences. Stimming behaviors often provide sensory pleasure or satisfaction.

While stimming is a common behavior, its intensity and frequency can vary significantly among individuals.
Understanding and supporting children in their stimming can be beneficial for their overall well-being and communication.

PART 2 OF AUTISM AWARENESS
let's continue looking at other characters that one should observe.
children with autism usually have trouble to keep an eye contact, remember we said their social interaction is limited. a child may experience delays in developmental milestones examples a speech delay and movement. though sometimes speech delay doesn't mean a child is autistic.

children with autism usually like to play alone. sometimes they will have their imaginary friends. please do not stress that how they are. they struggle a lot with their social skills.

Cognitive Development:
cognitive development is how a child learns to think, solve problems, remember and understand the world. with the autistic ones, they learn differently because how they process the information is quite difficult for some of them.
those who are clever may cope and have strong attention to details. example.
Different learning styles.
lots of autistic children are bottom up thinkers, meaning they learn details first then building up to the big picture.

The class will continue tomorrow please like and share with other parents, caregiver and Educators

Mrs author principalThwala.

Good afternoon, esteemed parents of children with autism. Let us explore the fundamentals of autism, its associated behaviors, potential supplementary aids for your child, and available support resources. I will share information in concise segments to facilitate comprehension. Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts neurological development, thereby affecting social interaction and communication skills, which may be limited or result in reduced speech. It is essential to recognize that autism is not a disease. Some common behaviors associated with autism include repetitive actions such as hand flapping, object lining, head rocking, stimming, finger mannerisms, and repetitive vocalizations like singing. Upon noticing these signs, it is advisable to consult a psychologist promptly, bearing in mind the importance of avoiding labels. We will continue this discussion tomorrow for further insight. Mrs. Author Principal Thwala.
