One of them is a video of Xiao Dai doing a check-up in the hospital, the video of Xiao Dai's tired expression and heavy eye bags, and the appearance of sunshine and smile in other works is very different, which also allows netizens to see the difficult side of the life of autistic children.
From questioning a doctor's diagnosis to "no longer blinding yourself"
On April 3, a Modern Express reporter contacted Xiao Dai's mother, Ms. Hu. These days, her son is on fire on the Internet, and she can receive comments from netizens across the country every day. Ms. Hu, whose focus is mainly on children, is a little confused in the face of the sudden heat, but she still accepts an interview with reporters.
About 1 year and 8 months old, Ms. Hu and her husband found that the child was a little different from other children. "I couldn't find out with the child all day, when I took him to the parent-child class, I found that something was wrong, in the class, Xiao Dai was obviously out of place, and could not interact with other children."
It's time to go to kindergarten, Ms. Hu and Xiao Dai have changed several kindergartens in succession. When she got the exact diagnosis was Xiao Dai, who was 3 years old and 10 months old, Ms. Hu couldn't believe it was autism. In order to deny the doctor's diagnosis, she looked up the information everywhere, but the more she looked, the more she felt that the diagnosis was correct, "I can't fool myself anymore." "
As a result, Ms. Hu and Mr. Hu began to seek various treatment methods, enter special education institutions, or train in hospitals. In order to treat their children, the family also traveled to many cities, Guangzhou, Beijing... During the rehabilitation training phase, they stayed in Qingdao for a year and a half. "Elementary school is a general school, and children are very uncomfortable. I am now studying at a special school, and I am in the third year of the first year of this year. "
As a parent, not only bear the burden of life, but also take care of Xiao Dai's pressure is far higher than other families. In order to make the child's situation better, Ms. Hu has been taking care of Xiao Dai full-time, while Mr. Hu is working outside the home. Sacrificing work for children, sometimes I feel sorry to see my friends succeed in their careers. But life still has to go on, Xiao Dai brings me a lot of satisfaction, sometimes on the contrary, it is I who need him very much, he is my pride. Ms. Hu said.
Discovered Xiao Dai's musical talent and also joined the orchestra
Discovering Xiao Dai's musical talent is in the usual training. "The doctor said that before the age of 7 is the child's golden stem expectation." Ms. Hu said that when she started high-intensity rehabilitation training, many boring courses were difficult for Xiao Dai to learn, but the music class was different, and he performed well.
When Xiao Dai was four or five years old, Ms. Hu began to consciously let him take more music lessons, and around the age of 11, Xiao Dai began to learn musical instruments. Piano, drum kit, gourd silk, pottery flute, saxophone, now began to learn harmonica, don't look at him is only 16 years old, can play a lot of instruments, two years ago gourd silk passed the tenth level. Ms. Hu believes that the sight singing ear training and pitch training that she is exposed to when learning an instrument is of great help to practicing the ear and the sense of rhythm.
Three years ago, Ms. Hu took Xiao Dai to join the Shenzhen Aite Orchestra, a musical group made up entirely of teenagers with autism. He quickly integrated into the orchestra, and was more cheerful and smiling than before, sometimes playing wrong, and embarrassed to laugh.
Now Xiao Dai, half of his spare time, is in the orchestra. The cuckoo they once played also attracted the attention of the song's creators. In addition, Xiao Dai will also participate in some competitions and perform in front of the audience on stage. Before this, Ms. Hu had worried that if she met an acquaintance, would she be embarrassed? Now she doesn't think so at all, because whether it is online or offline, Xiao Dai is basically exposed to goodwill.
" I hope you know more about autism "
In fact, there are many ordinary autistic children, not as talented as Xiao Dai, they may usually be at home, the range of activities is very small. Ms. Hu suggested that if parents cannot find their children's interests and hobbies, it is important to first ensure that their children's mood is stable.
Now many netizens like Xiao Dai, and fans want to take a group photo, and Xiao Dai is sometimes very "smelly", brushing his own vibrato, seeing that some netizens praise him handsome will be very happy. Many netizens will interact with Ms. Hu, saying that Xiao Dai's size of one meter and eighty-three is a "clothes rack" at a glance, and can even be a flat model. Before, Ms. Hu did not dare to imagine. "It seems difficult now, but I am willing to try more possibilities for the sake of my children."
In the face of her son's popularity, Ms. Hu said that it is not necessarily a bad thing, "Society pays attention to autistic children, it must be a good thing." She believes that after more people understand autism, they will learn to accept tolerance, and children who see some "strange" movements in their daily lives will not say that they are not well tutored, "They will know that this child is autistic and will understand." At this time, parents will have a lot less psychological pressure.
Many parents of autistic children are very encouraged after seeing Xiao Dai's video, and they have rekindled their courage and cheered up. Like them, Ms. Hu hopes that everyone's attention to autistic people will not be limited to the World Autism Awareness Day, "I hope you will know more about autism." "
