b. i went to SMK BS to meet Cikgu Ju on a project for these special children. Invitation extended last month but only now managed to fulfill. After project discussion/deliberation she invited to nicely fitted built up cabins (see pic below) specially built for special children in Subang Jaya and neighbouring area for them to "develop & sharpen their skills".
c. Cikgu Ju leads a group of dedicated teachers (about 13 of them) specialising in providing classes for special children i.e autistic students. Autism is a brain development disorder effecting a child (could had happened starting before the age of seven). Autism restricts normal reaction, communication/interaction and behaviour. SMK Bandar Sunway has a total of 78 special children divided into 10 classes. Not many teachers can teach special students. Only those with courage, high passion and true dedication can guide/teach them (even their parents also sometime feel frustrated/disappointed having/raising special children).
d. i asked Cikgu Ju, why so many autistic children in Subang Jaya & do their parents send them to this special school in which she replied NO. Not many parents send their autistic children to school, they "keep & protect" them in their houses. And this is bad for each child's upbringing.
e. Kami mengunjungi / berborak lama di bengkel utama pelajar/murid istimewa ini, di samping Cikgu Ju berkongsi pengalaman-pengalamannya mengajar mereka. Saya dapat merasakan Cikgu Ju seorang yang penyabar, berkomitmen tinggi dengan tahap kasihan belasnya terhadap anak-anak istimewa ini tidak boleh disangkal.
Bayangkan, pada umur 13 ke atas, anak-anak istimewa ini masih lagi di toilet train, dipesan/diarah perkara yang simple berulangkali etc.
f. Lawatan/perbincangan bersama Cikgu Ju benar-benar menyentuh perasaan. Dalam gelak kami pun ada terasa sayu kepada insan yang istimewa ini. Semua orang WAJIB bersyukur. Bersyukurlah dapat anak yang normal & bersyukurlah juga mendapat anak yang istimewa. REDHA. Allah Maha Mengetahui dan sebaik-sebaik pemberi balasan.
g. Beberapa kerja-kerja seni pelajar istimewa ini yang sangat/terlalu ISTIMEWA pada saya, saya gambarkan sebahagian di bawah ini.

h. Saya ingin berpesan kepada pembaca blog ini, jika ada sedara-mara kita yang ada anak autistic, jangan "disimpan di rumah" kononnya kita kesian kat dia. Kalau betul-betul kasihan kat anak itu dan masa depan dia, send them to Special Schools. Memang benar, mereka ini "cannot be cured" secara total tetapi sekurang-kurangnya ada cikgu pakar yang "guide" hala tuju hidup mereka.
