WORK AND LIFE: PARENTING A CHILD WITH AUTISM





WORK AND LIFE: PARENTING A CHILD WITH AUTISM





Parenting has always been a challenge for everyone. Giving what's best for their children as well as having quality time with them is a big challenge most especially if the parents are working. Some are torn between their full time jobs to support the needs of their children or try part-time jobs to still spend time with their kids. In my case, me and my husband have no choice but to work full time to provide for our son who has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).



We discovered his condition when he was still 1 year and 6 months old. He started uttering words when he was still 1 year old but it suddenly started disappearing. He was back to blabbering, throwing things and having uncontrollable tantrums and also walking on tiptoes. It made us worried that we consulted a Developmental Pedia at our town and found out about his condition. I read a lot of articles online about parenting and autistic children so that I can understand him better and help him. He has been under therapy and socialization with his fellow toddlers for more than 1 year now. It only stopped when the Covid-19 outbreak was announced and Community Quarantine was implemented last March 15.


It has always been our goal to give our son all the support we can so that he can love a life normally. We want to spend our free time with him although it is very limited due to our work schedules. I am so happy to come over the FVA Academy on time when I was browsing on facebook. I thought this would be my opportunity to work from the comfort of our home while earning extra income and spending more time with my son. So I enrolled in their Freelancing Course, and it was so educational and inspiring hearing Coach Grace in every lesson.


So for those who are looking for a reliable online academy that will teach you how to start your freelancing career, try FVA Academy. I can ensure you that they provide competitive and quality students. They also have a lot of courses to offer. All you need? Goal, determination and perseverance.
