It is Friday and Theo went to his speech therapy session. I picked up a copy of The Standard and there was this article about an autistic teenager whose parents didn't know if her condition and led to a 5 years shopping spree of LV bags. The teen girl's parents purchased for her 1000 bags and even purchased a flat for her to store her LV bags.
This girl is 17 and the obsession started at age 12. Really who in the right mind would have a 12 year old lead to such indulgence of getting bags that is worth USD 1000 a pop.
Until her behavior turned bad that her parents had the sense to take her to see a psychiatrist.
Are the parents to blame? Maybe as a society we should promote child developmental awareness. If the window of opening to heal the child is at birth to age 7. We as caretaker of our future generation should be to look at the problem and solve it before if gets worst.
Maybe this article should be a warning to those instinctive feeling we have with our own children. And do not take those lightly.
