Story of Ferdy Hasan and Safina Hasan First Knowing Their Son is Autistic at Four Months Old

Dream - Ferdy Hasan and Safina Hasan are one of the celebrity couples who have a special needs child. Their second son, Fasha Jamel Antwan, has autism.

Ferdy said that he and his wife just realized their son's autism at the age of four months. According to Ferdy, initially he felt that his son had a lack of response as a toddler.

"The response at four months old is lacking. The response is lacking, very calm,"

Said Ferdy Hasan when met at the Press Conference event of Spekix 2024 in South Jakarta area.

"After realizing that their son, Fasha Jamel Antwan, has autism, the first thing that Ferdy and his wife did was to accept and be open about their son's condition."

"First time we realized that our child has special needs. The important thing is to first accept it. By accepting and being open, it becomes easier. That's what I might feel with Ferdy because I quickly accepted it at that time and I was very open about it, which made information that was still very limited and difficult to obtain at that time become easily accessible."

Safina Hasan said.

"Fasha can be said to be fortunate with this intervention. The environment is very supportive, including the extended family. So the support system from the environment is also very helpful," he added. Ferdy recounted the beginning of Fasha's schooling according to the recommendation of his son's personal doctor, which is to enroll his son in a special school for children with special needs."

"Doctor suggests sticking to one language only. Just Indonesian. So we chose a school that uses Indonesian language, initially we chose a playground to socialize. After that, we started elementary school. When it comes to elementary school, it is an inclusive school, a self-funded inclusive school."

say Ferdy Hasan.

"In School Bullying"

However, an unexpected thing happened to Fasha at school. Although initially supported by family, environment, and school, Fasha experienced bullying from her friends. As a result, Fasha had to consume antidepressant medication.

"Back then, we asked whether inclusive schools or regular schools were ready. Maybe the child is ready, sir. Well, this school is a regular private school. Turns out the environment is not ready, sir. So maybe the teachers are ready, but the environment is not ready,"

In response to this, Ferdy and Safina then shared special tips for parents who have children with special needs in choosing a school. According to Safina, teachers and the school environment must be prepared and committed to educating the child.

"Teachers and their school environment are ready to accept children like them, and they are committed to it. So, not only can they accept, but they are also committed because commitment is important."

ucap Safina.

In addition, Safira is also diligent in searching for information about the prospective school for her son. Not only from the school itself but also from the experiences of parents who have sent their children to that school.

"We must diligently search for information, I finally looked for information not only from school because usually schools always promote themselves well. I asked my parents who have experienced studying there how it was. The important thing is to diligently search for information and the importance of community,"

say Safina.

While Ferdy agrees on the importance of a community for parents who have autistic children. "A place for sharing, a community. So, I want to ask, 'Is this school good?' to fellow parents. 'Where should I study?' Now, like my child, finally got it. A college that offers internship opportunities," said Ferdy. Report: Ade Feri Priyatin.
