Living with autism - Byw gyda awtistiaeth

Debyg bod ti heb sylweddoli bod awtistiaeth yn effeithio'r plant i gyd. Carwyn a Sinead sydd gyda diagnosis o awtistiaeth a Tomas sydd gyda diagnosis o Asperger. Yn y blynyddoedd cynnar roedd yn anodd iawn. Erbyn hyn gyda'r tri wedi datblygu'n fwy mae 'na bethau da a phethau drwg yn y sefyllfa. Un mantais yw bod nhw'n hoffi'r un trefn trwy'r amser a felly mae amser gwely yn hawdd iawn, pob nos mae'n 9 o'r gloch felly mae'n amser gwely a dyma nhw'n mynd heb dadlau. Ar y llaw arall mae'n llawer anoddach i geisio gwneud pethau newydd - eisiau peidio mynd i Sainsburys am bryd bwyd ar ol ysgol dydd Mawrth - anghofio amdano!

Dyma llun o Carwyn a Sinead Pasg 2004 yn cael hwyl yn y parc yng Nghwmcarn.



You have probably not realised that the children are all affected by autism. Carwyn and Sinead have a diagnosis of autism while Tomas has one of Asperger. In the early years it was very difficult. By now the three have developed more and there are good and bad things about the situation. One advantage is that they like the same routine all the time and so bedtime is very easy, every night it's 9 o clock so it's time for bed and off they go without arguing. On the other hand it's much harder doing new things - want to not go to Sainsburys for tea on Tuesdays after school - forget about it!

Here's a picture of Carwyn and Sinead at Easter 2004 having fun in the park in Cwmcarn.
