This Wednesday, April 13, 2022, Faustine Bollaert surrounded herself only with men. But not just any. The host had decided to invite fathers who had bravely faced the handicap or illness of their children. “These dads, believe me, we are not about to forget them!“, launches the host in the preamble of a program which notably saw the testimony of a dad whose boy has autism.
For parents, having an autistic child involves specific daily support. Autistic children learn less quickly in certain areas because they encounter difficulties related to autism disorders. As parents, the application of certain methods to facilitate the development of learning is not always an easy thing to do. Above all, there are several forms and several degrees of autism. And the first signs of the disease are not always easy to decipher.
“We got worried when she was two years old. He spoke a little he was clean then a total regression. He started putting his hands over his ears. As he had a lot of ear infections, we thought he had a hearing problem. We were consulted by an ENT specialist and he told us that his ears were fine and he told us about autism right away. Like what it was necessary to see professionals to diagnose it.“, says this dad whose son has autism. “We were told cash that he would never speak. That he would never go to school, that we would have to put him in a straight jacket and put him in a psychiatric hospital. We cried all the tears of our body with my wife.“, he explains before touching Faustine Bollaert by revealing how, by dint of courage, the family overcame the obstacles linked to the illness of their son: “We fought for him to go to school. We are still fighting and now he is in third place. And next year he’s going to CAP cuisine.“
