Lucas was detected autism spectrum at the age of three. After one year and half of therapy, how painful for us (parents) to see him, not capable to hold nothing in his hands. But we kept hope and faith everyday. But one year ago, the unexpected appeared like a miracle. Lucas could write his name properly. How amazing, surprising, it was, when we found out his little hands holding the pen, write letters, draw.... Actually he is 6 years old and is able to use spoon, fork and even knife correctly during lunch. We are always thankful to God, to his ortophonist, to his psychomotricien for support and tips to facilitate life with Lucas. We have learned to live with him, managing his behaviour, although it's not easy in public.
We are living in Madagascar, a country where autism is unknown yet for the main population and where there are not any structure for autism. So you can imagine how difficult it is for parents to find the right therapy for his child.
But we won't give up and will keep faith for all malagasy autistic child ;-)
