Yasabye ababyeyi kudahatiriza mu gihe babonye hari ikidakunda ku mwana muto, ahubwo ko ari byiza gushaka amakuru ahagije ku kibazo afite bakamenya uko bamufasha hakiri kare aho kumucira urubanza badasobanukiwe ikiri kumubaho.
Ubundi ‘Autisme’ ni iki?
‘Autisme’ ni ihinduka ridindiza imikurire n’imikorere y’ubwonko n’imyakura bya muntu bikamuviramo ubumuga bwo mu mutwe, ku buryo uyifite bimugiraho ingaruka zirimo kugira imyitwarire idasanzwe ndetse agakora ibinyuranye n’iby’abandi kuko aba atumva impamvu yabyo.
Uyifite akenshi arangwa n’ibirimo kurobanura cyane ibyo arya, kugorwa no kugenzura amarangamutima ye, kuba yananirwa kumenya uko yitwara mu bandi akaba yanaceceka nk’aho atari kumva, n’ibindi.
Abafite ‘Autisme’ ntibakunda impinduka mu buzima bwabo busanzwe, ibishobora no kubatera umujinya udasanzwe mu gihe ibyo bubatse basanze byahinduwe mu bundi buryo, cyangwa se bakisanga mu bintu batamenyereye, ibibatera guhindagurika kudasanzwe mu marangamutima yabo.
Ibindi bibagora ni imivugire, kuko nk’umwana ufite ‘Autisme’ ashobora kunanirwa gukurikiranya amagambo neza, akaba yavuga akagera aho agasubiramo ijambo rimwe inshuro nyinshi, ibigira uruhare mu ididindira ry’ubwenge bw’umwana bigasaba kwitabwaho byihariye, ndetse n’ibindi bitandukanye.
