Overview on LovingCarlo

April 3, 2007

As I have mentioned in my earlier posts, I'm planning to make a simple blogsite dedicated to my brother Carlo who is an autistic child. I'll be sharing my day-to-day experiences as a sister to a special child. All the joys, pains and inspiration that only he can offer :)

 

A lot of people have misunderstood the real meaning of Autism. Some people call them names such as "sira-ulo", "sintu-sinto" etc. I'll be honest that I'm already used to stares of strangers especially when I'm with him. He is a hyperactive kid.. very hyper!

 

Juan Carlos Rodriguez loves music. He can adapt to tunes easily and he also loves to draw. He is currently enrolled in an one-on-one SPED program in Dagupan City and I can see much improvement in him.

 

There are times wherein I feel like I'm an irresponsible sister. Why? because I seldom check his weekly developments. There are also times wherein I'd choose to go out with friends that spend the weekend with him. Well I've changed a bit. He needs me more since he's growing up as a tall young teenager.

 

Btw, He's turning 12 years old by April 11. I'm planning to launch the full blog on the same day :)

 

I'll be using this avatar to show that I Love Carlo and I have learned to love autism too.
