Everything is not the child's fault

On June 12, 2003, when the 26-year-old Zhang Yunchu motherhood, gave birth to a daughter. The family was so happy, the family gave her a name, called "tease", the child is very beautiful, also looks very healthy.

A year old when, the child is a bit "different". She doesn't like children generally like to embrace, when you embrace her, she will be stretched out two hands pushed you away; You can't catch her eyes, her eyes never and you in the eye; She doesn't like children like toys, she likes to rotate small lid, small wheels, also like their rotation, she almost all day in the room rotation, and seemed to be chasing its own tail......

At the age of four, daughter is in kindergarten back, 5 years old got confirmed: teasing and have children with autism. To treatment, zhang yun with children all over the better part of a Chinese, her spirit has also been greatly stimulate, children live in a mental hospital, "gosh, such a small child, isn't your lifetime will be joined together and psychiatric hospital?"

On one occasion, may be due to the throat is uncomfortable, teasing from morning began to scream, about once every 10 minutes, until the evening. "How can you have such a disease in the world, if I have to have a disability was predestined children, even the deaf and the blind and become, as long as not autism." Zhang yun said, "mental problems can kill people, you have to have nerves of steel and steel nerves to the top."

Stir a favorite is music, zhang yun, each time you take her to go to the concert, always sitting nearest the door place, as long as to tease a strange, immediately take the baby out. Mom is very kiasu (afraid to stir a strange behavior interferes with the others.

Nine years down, because the child "alternative", zhang yun, can let oneself face with higher education "thick" rise, straight in the face of people's attention. But she and her husband was not so locked teasing at home. She took her to the supermarket, park, hope the daughter can as happy as all the children. Because, everything is not the child's fault.

Hope everything will be ok

Nini will not tell a story, not the role of imagination, if let her story, she said: "once upon a time there was a forest..." Not below.

"I want to try to inspire her, as she said: 'the nini tell mom a story. You first listen to mom again: once upon a time there was a little girl, back schoolbag go to school.' please tell the story again."

"Once upon a time there was a forest..." Not below again.

"How can I had such a baby." Nini's mother said xiaoxiao said, "someone speak to walk out of the loneliness, away from loneliness, I want to walk into more lonely, understand loneliness. I want to know what children thinking, what to do and what you need."

One door closed, surely there will be another window open. Xiaoxiao don't want to walk into despair, "we want to live, in the hope that better, maybe can wait until that day, even after the child is their 40 s and 50 s, human invented a medicine, or the gene therapy, that is ok."

Autism is a difficult to cure disease, at present only is considered feasible way is through the improvement of the education and training. Xiaoxiao to nini chose education. Understanding of autism is just beginning and domestic medical no more ways, only some of the lectures also pretty primitive. Training method to teach children to recognize the graphics, color, exchange let children concentrate with candy and so on, but the key problem is that children with autism as an alien, what you say, she simply ignore you.

"You just scold her, scold her, she didn't response, anyway, she didn't understand your normal expression." Nini still not read not drawing when he was 7 years old, whenever she picked up the pen, there is a mess of graffiti.

"Nini at the time of her dissatisfaction, the only language is screaming. When she is needed, just grab me by the hand, and pulled me in the past, put his hand on the items want to..." "Nini has a pair of bright eyes, but never look directly at me. She seems to always lonely, is not affected by the outside world..." Nini's mother said.

In 2011, nini's mother took her to a county special education school. "Although nini now also ignore people, can't take the initiative to contact with people, but so much of the passive, for she is beneficial." Xiaoxiao said.

Open another window for children

"Autism children can walk far, who all don't know, I want to know is, compared with yesterday, what the children learned again today." County special education school principal Tang Maocheng said, "have patience, determination, confidence, has the compassion, to make our teacher bath sunshine with our children."

Tang President believes that children with autism, there are many "weakness" and "inadequate", if their shortcomings and the insufficiency (99%), only 1% of the "advantages", the teachers and parents and society should also will be magnified 99 times to see the advantages of the 1%.

Education of children with autism, also want to like dayu water conservancy, to dredge, cannot simply be blocked. Our school has a name is filled with autistic children, once suddenly manic, four teachers are not him. They come to me quickly. I patted the child back in the past, don't be afraid to tell him. He'll hug me, and then pull me to go out. I say with other teachers, let him go out and see what he just mania. Filled with ran to the playground PuXiao next door. Turned out to be PuXiao drum team in training, to great voice let cane vines are nervous and full of curiosity, he thus mania. I took advantage of training students, the drum borrowed, let teng teng himself, he is very happy. Then I advised his parents to buy a small drum for him to play, gradually he can knock out of rhythm. "Autistic children, psychology is not normal, but he must have some special talent, can only be in comply with the interview, to improve the ability of some special." Tang the headmaster said, "your children like the computer, for example, it is because the reason why he is difficult to communicate with people, should use computers to expand his knowledge. Using computer prompted him to communicate with people, such as parents to participate in his playing computer, and invite him, let he answered the question of her parents, etc."

Also, some autism education research institutions in our country, especially for the children to provide such as instrumental music playing, pastry making, computer typing hands-on skills education, cultivate these autistic children adult can skilled, find a job to support themselves, I'm afraid that's every autistic child parents biggest wish.

"Everyone living in the world will have difficulty, depending on how you treat. In fact, special education, is a persistent 'harmonious' war." Tang said the principal.
