Dr. Sung Min became frightened when her child refused to pay her attention and was unable to engage in play with other children his years. Seeing her son miss milestones, Dr Sung, a senior consultant at the Department of Developmental Psychiatry at Singapore’s Institute of Mental Health ( IMH), panicked.
The baby physician was relieved and grieved when he was finally diagnosed with autism. The gaps in understanding the problem even created confusion and excessive stress on her as a parent.
A neurological and developmental disorder known as autism or autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ) is present in all people. It affects how a person engages with another, in terms of how talk, learn, and react in different contexts and environments.
Through her own encounter with her brother, Dr Sung, with a team of three, established dementia service at IMH in 2006.
The 56-year-old has since participated in a number of studies initiatives, including one on supporting people with ASD in clinical adjustments during the pandemic in 2020, and one on the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety in children with ASD in 2011.  ,
FEELING AUTISM IN THE First DAYS
What’s bad with my infant, most parents of children with autism say at first? and upon treatment,” I wish I knew this treatment before”.
Dr. Sung remarked,” I went through the pain method of coping with the approval of a baby with particular needs.”
She acknowledged that the treatment was difficult, and that it took her years to accept the treatment of her son. I had exaggerated anticipations of him in his younger years, which made it difficult for him to cope with and lead to difficult behavior.
