每对父母都希望自己的孩子能够健康快乐地成长，但现实与理想总是对立的。

          晨晨在两岁时始终都没有开口叫过妈妈。那时我已经有点担心，但家中的长辈总说：“男孩总是比女孩迟些说话，没什么大不了。”也许是自欺欺人吧！就这样耽误了最佳的黄金治疗期。

           终于，晨晨被诊断出得了自闭症。于是，我们决定一边送他去幼稚园，一边去做语言障碍矫正。就在我们觉得一切就要有转机的时候，晨晨的各种问题也接踵而来。如：不能跟小朋友友善地沟通，不能安静地坐在课室里听老师上课，有时还会跟小朋友发生肢体冲突……..。

           种种的问题让我们也变得手足无措，这时通过朋友的介绍，我们来到了SI World。在Mr. Wong的讲解中，我们明白了原来孩子还需要更多的辅助，而且治疗的时间也会相应地长一些。好多父母的误区是一直都认为只要孩子来到中心，不用多久就可以变成一个正常普通的孩子。
         
​          虽然现在的晨晨还是有这样那样的问题，但看着他一天比一天可爱，一天比一天进步，这一切都很值得。虽然在外人眼中他还是一个有点特殊的孩子，有的人甚至还会误解特殊就是智商问题，但这些都不重要。我相信总有一天，晨晨也会跟同龄的孩子一样，有自己的朋友，有自己的生活。

          Parents always hope that their children can grow up healthily and happily. Nonetheless, reality is always the opposite of the ideal.

          Chen Chen still did not call me “mummy” even when he approached two years old. This made me feel a bit worried, but the elderly in my family kept telling me that “boys are usually slower in learning to speak than girls do, so there is nothing to worry about”. Perhaps this is what we called self-deceiving. And because of this, we missed out the golden timing for treatment for Chen Chen.

        As the result came out, Chen Chen was diagnosed with Autism. Thereupon we decided to send him to kindergarten and to do speech therapy on the other hand. Right when we thought that everything was going to get better, more and more of Chen Chen‟s problems raised our concerns. For example, he could not communicate well with his peers, he was unable to sit still to listen to teachings in class, and sometimes he even fought with his peers.

           We felt so hopeless about all these until we got to know about SI World from our friends. After listening to Mr. Wong‟s explanation, we came to understand that children actually need more assistance; therefore longer treatment period is needed as well. Lots of parents are mistaken that children will get better very soon once they are sent for treatment.

          Although Chen Chen is still having all these problems, it is worthwhile to see him getting better and cuter. To me, it does not matter if others see him as a special child or misunderstand that “special” is related to IQ‟s problems. Because I believe one day, Chen Chen will be the same as his peers, who will have his own friends and life.

最后要感谢SI World和它的一班治疗师。谢谢你们！

My Timothy My son, Timothy, was only 1½ year-old at that time. He spoke very few words as compared to his cousin, who was younger than him. He seemed to prefer staying in his own world and was not able to interact well with people around him. Our family doctor had raised his concern and ran some tests when we brought him for vaccination. But nothing conclusive had been established; anyway, the doctor advised us to give him another half a year time to see any changes or improvement on him in the future. 

Nonetheless, the thing that worried me the most was not the tiny problem such as spoken words; it was the bad behavior and bad social interaction that sparked my attention. He just knew how to cry all the time and was not able to express himself, for example, what was bothering him or where the pain was (whether he fell down or got bitten by his cousin). He was often very blurred about what was going on and could not understand verbal instruction. He did not know how to play with other kids, how to share with others and when to take turn in social interactions. These basic skills that were required in that kind of environment did not seem to develop well in my son‟s case. He was a rigid boy and had difficulties in accepting new activities. Due to poor verbal expression, the scenario became worse.

I also noticed he always banged on something and hurt himself. He had poor balancing and body coordination skills. He could walk straight into the glass door and fell down most of the time when running or even walking. Poor sense of danger was one of his weaknesses too. His stubbornness and impatience caused everything to become much worse. We as parents, had no idea at all what was wrong with him. We thought he was just being naughty and lazy, so we just disciplined him using a cane. Days passed by and nothing had changed due to our action and this had made his situation became worse. I was in confinement of my 3rd son. It was very heartbroken to see my Timothy at that time. I was wondering why he was not able to defend himself. Say something, son!
