World Autism Day: Caring for “Children from the Stars”

They live among us

But I have a heart that can only see my own world

They don't care about other things

But I focus on the things I like for a long time

They are the "Children of the Stars"

They are not deaf, but they ignore your calls

They are not dumb, but they don't want to talk to you

They are not blind, but they don't look you in the eye

Unable to communicate normally

Can't understand simple emotions

Always do repetitive behaviors

…

This is our impression of people with autism

Their real life

Far more than we thought

Much harder

Children with autism

It is a number that is constantly increasing

However, this group is not widely concerned and understood by the society.

The latest data from the US CDC shows

One in 44 children has autism

Released in 2019

The "China Autism Education and Rehabilitation Industry Development Report" shows

The prevalence of autism in China is 0.7%

There were more than 10 million people with autism spectrum disorders

Among them, there are about 2 million children under the age of 12.

For some children with autism

They're not disobedient.

But I don't understand what you say

Even if I understand

I don't know how to do it.

today

It's World Autism Day

I hope you can learn from these real cases.

A better understanding of their loneliness

Less misunderstanding

When autistic people

Learning to take care of oneself

Learning how to live normally

Family members of autistic people

Try to help them

When adapting to society

They need to face

Others look at me differently

sometimes

Destroy a person

Not the hardships of life

It's people's discrimination and prejudice

The little kindness you showed

It could be

A ray of light that illuminates their lives

Caring is not just for today

Let us give them more understanding and tolerance

Accompany and protect these "star children"
