Ashraf: Building A Special School For Our Special Needs Son

They sold their house, she gave up her high-flying job - so that their son, who is on the autism spectrum, could have a school to go to. MIJ Hub in Singapore started in a storeroom at the back of a mosque, and today serves hundreds of special youths with ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome and developmental delay.

It's always great to see people with passion like this. But such jobs will surely be tough on them as well. Sending them some encouragement as well and don't forget about yourselves.

[@karlchandran4631]

This video demonstrates the beauty of compassion and kindness. The endeavor to begin the school like this, is amazing! Iam sure they have numerous difficulties managing their school. I wish them nothing but the best!

I can relate to these couple because I have a nephew who has autism.😊 He also goes to theraphy and attended regular school, of course with a shadow. He is bright, good in arts but still need to improve on communication. The good thing is, that his regular classmates are so loving towards him. They are willing to assist my nephew. So watching clip/documentary like this is so very inspiring. Thank you.😍

[@petesmith6141]

Singapore has so much to teach the world! Whilst its diversity is something attractive for tourists and something residents (I imagine) appreciate, it does condemn the country to authoritarian government despite its small size. So far that governance has been amazing, and Lee Kuan Yew is admired the world over. I hope this will continue, and the residents of Singapore will continue to thrive.

[@yushikuang7877]

I saw many singapor videos on autism and those parents are incredible and. do not let down their kids who has special need. I guess the government had choose to show only the good examples but it also say a lot on what value the government does promote. How much videos we see on youtube where in other asian countries like China and Korea, parents abandon their kids or neglected their kids as it’s not they do not fit“perfect kid” as expected. Really, i am impress by this country. People are really more educated and more conscious on the wheel being of their kids.

Please stay strong and remember that nothing happens except by the will of Allah. Allah is looking at your response to all of this and i'm sure it pleases him. Proud to be Muslim.

When they go to a public place to eat, a teacher force them to order and speak louder. In a way of encouraging, they must be careful. I think, its related to having adequate education about teaching. so what they do amazing but they must do that with professionals.
