Jonida Maliqi clashes live with psychologist Anjeza Dishnica: "My son will

A fierce debate took place on the "Goca dhe Gra" program, where singer Jonida Maliqi directly confronted psychologist Anjeza Dishnica regarding the treatment of children on the autism spectrum.

The clash also relates to the personal experience of the singer, who has a son on the autism spectrum and has shared her concerns about the way the family was treated and informed during the assessment process.

The discussion focused on the importance of accurate assessment, therapeutic intervention, and ongoing support for children on the autism spectrum. Psychology emphasized that the assessment process should be carried out by multidisciplinary teams, while parents should be informed about the importance of appropriate treatment.

During the conversation, Dishnica also spoke about her professional experience, recalling that in 2009 she had been the first director of the center she had established and run, before leaving to pursue another professional perspective.

Jonida Maliqi's personal story also became part of the debate. The psychologist asked the singer questions about the therapies her son had undergone over the years and the support the family had received after identifying the difficulties.

Dishnica focused on ABA therapy, explaining that this method has been applied in Albania since 2014. According to her, the treatment involves developing the child's individual skills and then socialization, which can be a particularly challenging process for children on the autism spectrum.

The debate became further tense when clarification was sought on Jonida's claim that her child's diagnosis had been determined by the specialist herself.

Maliqi said that the way the information about her son was communicated to her had traumatized her and Dani's other parent. According to her, this experience had affected their trust over the years, not only professionally, but also humanly.

At one point in the debate, Jonida made direct accusations against the psychologist, claiming that she had told her that her son "will never be a success" and that she had recommended that he attend five to six hours of therapy a day at her center.

"You saw children as ATMs, my dear. And this is where medicine and humanity diverge," the singer said, adding that it was not the only case. She also claimed that psychology had advised her not to send her son to kindergarten and school, but to include him in several hours of therapy at her center.

"He has to come and do 5-6 hours of therapy at my center to benefit from our money," was Jonida's accusation during the confrontation.

On the other hand, Anjeza Dishnica stated that she had identified the problems from the first contact with the family, emphasizing that the identification process begins at the initial meeting.
