Dis 05:00 in die Meyer-woning. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alles is doodstil. Skielik gaan die televisie aan en die gebrul van “Impi ya masolider” vul die huis \u2013 skerp en onverbiddelik in die vroegm\u00f4re-stilte.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir die meeste gesinne sou dit ‘n moeilike manier wees om wakker te word, maar vir Megan en Renaldo Meyer asook hul ander twee kinders beteken dit net een ding \u2013 hul 14-jarige seun en broer, Reece, is wakker en gereed om die dag aan te pak.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lang pad na antwoorde<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dit was egter nie altyd so maklik nie. Reece se reis na hierdie punt was gevul met jare van onsekerheid en uitdagings.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel hy vroe\u00eb tekens van outisme getoon het \u2013 hy kon op 18 maande nie praat nie en was sensitief vir lig \u2013 is sy ouers meegedeel dit was “\u2009’n ontwikkelingsvertraging”. N\u00e1 jare se toetse is vlak 3-outis\u00adme en apraksie uiteindelik in 2018 op sesjarige ouderdom by hom gediagnoseer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Reece

Vandag kommunikeer Reece deur Makaton-gebaretaal, ‘n kommunikasieprogram wat diegene met apraksie help om hul gedagtes oor te dra. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die oggendstryd<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Hy word altyd wakker met ‘n plan en weet presies wat hy vir daardie dag wil dra,” s\u00ea Megan. “Dan begin die stryery oor die feit dat hy nie daardie spesifieke uitrusting vir die dag kan dra nie en dat hy sy skooluniform moet aantrek.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie daaglikse stryd oor sy skooluniform is net een aspek van Reece se normale oggend. N\u00e1 sy oggend-selfversor\u00adging \u2013 waar hy sy tande borsel, hoewel hy glad nie van die sensasie hou nie \u2013 vat hy sy AXE-spuitbus en verlaat die badkamer in ‘n wolk van testosteroon-rook.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ek sou nie s\u00ea dit is rebels nie, maar daar is sekere dinge waarmee hy nie meer gemaklik is nie, want hy is nou groot,” verduidelik Megan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transformasie op wiele<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die 15 minute lange busrit na Rusthof Olso vir leerders met spesiale onderwysbehoeftes verteenwoordig ‘n daaglikse transformasie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Reecie Boy” is sy ma se kind, maar as die bus se deure oopgaan en hy sy voete op die skoolgrond neersit, is hy “Reece die Rizzler”.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tania Louw, die departementshoof van die skool se outisme-eenheid, verduidelik dat leerders ge\u00efndividualiseerde onder\u00adsteuningsplanne volg. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons hooffokus is dat ons kinders in hul toekomstige lewe onafhanklik moet wees,” s\u00ea Louw.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meer as net skoolwerk<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Monique de Wit van die Universiteit Stellenbosch en ‘n kollega, Naomi Beth Conolly, beklemtoon gespesialiseerde onderwys gaan verder as net akademiese vakke.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dit vorm ‘n kind se ontwikkeling, welstand, veiligheid en lewensgehalte direk,” verduidelik hulle.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kommunikasievaardighede, motoriese ontwikkeling en geletterdheid word alles ge\u00efndividualiseer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir Reece is rekenaar-tyd die hoogtepunt van sy skooldag. Tydens ruskans maak hy grappies met sy vriende, maar wanneer juffrou Tania rekenaar-tyd aankondig, is daar net een ding in sy kop.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Familie wat aanpas<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die Meyer-gesin het geleer om hul lewe rondom Reece se behoeftes te struktureer. Albei ouers is sportafrigters en Reece pas by hul roetines in: Maandae en Woensdae sokkeroefening saam met sy ma; Dinsdae en Donderdae rugby by die Gustrouw-sportterrein saam met sy pa.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op die rugbyveld is hy in sy element. Met die gras onder sy voete. die wind in sy hare en die son op sy vel is die oefen-sessies sy eie Nuweland, waar hy nooit bang is in die aanval nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tiener
Reece Meyer in sy element op die rugbyveld.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aande word gekenmerk deur gesinstyd voor die televisie. Reece kies altyd rugby-oorlogskrete vir die gesin se kyktyd en vertel sy dag deur Makaton-gebare met sy mond wat ‘n “T” vorm wanneer hy van juffrou Tania praat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uitdagings en groei<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nie elke dag is maklik nie. Soms word Reece oorgestimuleer en raak hy uitgeput.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons kan op ‘n moeilike dag sien dat iets hom ontstel het en ons kan hom nie verstaan nie. Hy sal ‘n stryery begin en soms kom daar ‘n punt waar hy begin skree,” verduidelik Megan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maar Reece is ook nou ‘n tiener en dit beteken meer aanpassing. Sy stem is besig om te breek en hy voel nie altyd gemaklik om sy ma se hand vas te hou nie. Vir Megan is dit ‘n goeie teken \u2013 dit bring hom nader aan onafhanklikheid.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drome in swart<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reece het duidelike toekomsvisies. Elke oggend raak hy vasgevang in die w\u00eareld van begrafnisse op YouTube, gefassineer deur die kiste en blomme, maar veral deur die swart pakke. Hy sien nie net deftige kerkdrag nie \u2013 hy sien sy drome.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soms trek hy sy swart pak aan en boots dit na dat hy ‘n begrafnis uitvoer. Dit is meer as net spel \u2013 dit is sy beroepsvoorbereiding.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met vier jaar oor by Rusthof Olso fokus Megan op haar seun se toekoms.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ek dink hy is aanstelbaar en sy droom is natuurlik om ‘n begrafnisondernemer te wees,” s\u00ea sy hoopvol.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kundiges s\u00ea die ontwikkeling van kommunikasie en onafhanklikheid in selfsorg kan baie help. “Maar vir sommige mense met outisme beteken onafhanklikheid nie om alleen te woon nie, maar eerder in onder\u00adsteunde leefomgewings,” verduidelik hulle.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir die Meyer-gesin gaan dit oor meer as net Reece se diagnose \u2013 dit gaan oor ‘n seun wat elke dag opstaan met ‘n plan, wat van “Reecie Boy” na “die Rizzler” transformeer, en wat droom van ‘n toekoms in ‘n swart pak.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
