Hello everyone, I'm old breeder.
I'm going to tell you a story today.
There is a genius, amazing memory, has the ability to never forget.
He can read a book in the 80s;
He can remember any phone number in the phone book that he has read;
He can quickly count the 246 toothpicks that have fallen on the restaurant floor;
He can accurately report the frequency, time, place and cause of all major air crashes in the history of flight;
His mental arithmetic speed is not inferior to that of the computer, and he uses his super mental arithmetic and memory skills to help his brother win $85,000 in gambling cards.
And he was so good, but he was disliked by his brother and doubted by his own father.
When he was still a child, he was sent to a nursing home by his father himself, just so that he could stay away from his family...
Why is it that a child with such a talent is treated like this by his loved ones?
It turns out that he is the protagonist of the movie "Rain Man", an autistic person.
From a very young age, his intelligence is different from ordinary people.
Can't find drawers, can't wear clothes, can hardly take care of themselves...
World Autism Day is celebrated on 2 April each year to raise awareness of autism and related research and diagnosis, as well as people with autism.
Autism, also known as "autism", is an innate mental illness that occurs before the age of three and mainly exhibits social interaction disorders, communication disorders and limitations, stereotypes, and repetitive behaviors.
Globally, there is 1 in every 160 children with autism.
Maybe we have such children around us...

However, not all people with autism are geniuses.
50% of children with autism are in moderate and severely low levels of intelligence, and only 25% are likely to be in the normal range.
Less than 10% of children with autism have some ability that is different from the average person.
In addition, autism cannot be cured for life.
This means that parents of children with autism teach them life skills such as dressing and eating, which requires a lot of effort.
The father in the movie Ocean Paradise is an example.
Father Wang Xincheng raised his autistic son Daifuku alone, and when Daifuku was 21 years old, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and had only 3-4 months left in his life.
The autistic Dafuku did not have the ability to take care of himself at all, and his father decided to take him to suicide.
There were even stones and ropes tied to his legs.
Daifuku is extremely watery, and he breaks free of the rope and rescues his father.
The father saw Daifuku's desire to survive and decided to teach him life.
He taught his son to boil eggs, recognize money, mop the floor, take the bus, go home...
In the end, Wang Xincheng taught Dafu to work at the Aquarium, and he left without regrets.
There are many parents like Wang Xincheng who do not give up on their children with autism.
Many parents give autistic children their own skills.
Have you seen the scene of the song "You Inspired Me" at the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympic Games?
Drawings of two autistic children appear on the screen of the Bird's Nest with the song.
Many children with autism have a talent for drawing.
A stream animation exhibition appeared on takeaway boxes on the streets of Hangzhou, with paintings from a special group of children suffering from autism.
Xuan Xuan, a child with autism cerebral palsy, was exposed to the piano at the age of 5 and passed the piano level 10 at the age of 10.
Xuan Xuan's father said that he did not want to create a genius, nor did he want his child to become a player in the spotlight, but only hoped that the window of music could make more light shine into his heart and make him no longer lonely.
Yes, parents only want their children to be happy.
Many people with autism face difficulties.
The incidence of autistic children in China is about 0.7%, and the probability seems low.
In fact, autism has accounted for the first place in the mainland's mental disability, and has become the first "killer" of the mainland's children's mental disability.
At present, the number of adolescents with autism in the country exceeds 2 million, of which 98.7% of the population has no effective rehabilitation training.
The only effective treatment for autism is rehabilitation, which costs up to 60,000 yuan per year, which is a big expense for some families.
The recent two sessions also paid attention to the autistic population, and the delegates put forward some suggestions:
Recommend that autism treatment be included in medicament;
It is recommended to help older people with autism find employment;
It is recommended that the cost of autism rehabilitation training be included in medical insurance.
If these recommendations are actually implemented, it will undoubtedly be a boon for people with autism.
If you encounter autistic people in your life who are evasive in their eyes and repeat a certain action, don't look at them with colored glasses.
They are just ordinary people who have been deprived of the ability to live.
Do you have children from the stars around you?
What are your thoughts on children with autism and their families?
