Chapter 68: Truth or Anything, New Challenge
"What we want to do is not only to bring them out of loneliness, but also to bring them into society."
"This requires us to work to create a tolerant and gentle environment for them, where they can be recognized and accepted, rather than indifferent isolation and discrimination."
Wei Min, a reporter invited by Qi Siyue, said: "This is not something that our small rehabilitation center can do, and we need the understanding and support of the whole society, and we can only do our best to provide more suitable rehabilitation training programs for children, so that they can achieve self-care and self-reliance as soon as possible and have their own lives." ”
Wei Min looked at the woman in front of him who was talking eloquently, now she was only thirty years old, she seemed to be at the peak of her flower, her unique temperament made people feel very comfortable, she may not be a beauty in the traditional sense, but she also has a charm that people can't ignore.
"Dean Qi, I heard that you used to be engaged in commercial marketing, why did you suddenly change your career to autism rehabilitation education? Is it because of the prospects of the industry? ”
Qi Siyue shook her head and said calmly: "Because my son is also an autistic person. When he was first diagnosed, I was in great distress and thought that it was because I was busy with work and neglected to take care of him, which caused him to develop autism. Frankly speaking, at first, I quit my job to take care of him out of guilt, but later, when I learned that a large part of this disease is due to congenital inheritance, if the patient cannot be treated early at the age of 3-5 years, he may lose his language function for life, and even never be able to take care of himself. ”
"My child, is he going to lose his right to live in this world just because he is sick? At that time, I really understood the responsibility and responsibility of being a mother. I brought him into this world, no matter how poor or sick he is, he can't give up easily. So I took him to seek medical treatment, and in the process, we got the help of Dr. Fang and met Professor Tang Yuanzheng from the Hong Kong Down Rehabilitation Centre. ”
"It was at that time that I really understood what autism is for our lives."
"From the incidence rate of a few per 1,000 in previous years, to the current diagnosis rate of more than one percent, more and more autistic patients are being discovered, but relatively speaking, our medical and rehabilitation training institutions are far from keeping up, and the best treatment period for these children is very short, and missing these years may affect their lives."
"As a mother of an autistic child, I am facing the same dilemma as them, and I have seen many families in trouble because of their children's illness, and some people have even abandoned their children, and some have lost their jobs and divorced because of this...... I want to be a guiding light for my children, they all say that autistic children are children of the stars, so I will be his starry sky and hold up the outside world for him. ”
"That's why you set up the Enron Rehabilitation Center? Thank you. Wei Min couldn't help but ask: "I heard that your charity dinner a few days ago raised tens of millions, I wonder where you plan to use this money?" ”
"Of course, it is used for charity for children with autism in China."
Qi Siyue introduced to her the current shortcomings in this area in China, the charity industry itself is at a stage in China, and many poor and disabled children continue to assist, relatively speaking, the group of autistic children is much more neglected. However, the pain and pressure brought by this disease to the child and the child's family is very serious, and a child with autism needs the companionship and care of a family member at all times to ensure his safety and life.
Her situation was fine at the beginning, after all, she had worked for many years, and she had a small amount of savings, and the couple worked together to get good treatment conditions for the child in time.
But more families, like Gao Hai, Sun Xiaodie, etc., have no filial children before the bed for a long time, and they will also crush their parents, so poor families like this will not only help them apply for subsidies, but also arrange temporary jobs for their mothers in the rehabilitation center, so that they can take care of their children and earn money while working.
"Now Gao Hai has entered the track and field team and has achieved excellent results, and he can be guaranteed to be admitted to a sports specialty university in the future. Sun Xiaodie will also enter an ordinary middle school next year to take the high school entrance examination, although they are not very different from ordinary children, but through their own efforts, they can also study, go to school, and work like other children. ”
"What rehabilitation centers and special education schools can give them is basic life knowledge training and basic language education, and more professional knowledge, and they also need to enter ordinary schools to study."
"But now a lot of ordinary schools are too difficult for these children. From classmates to parents, a lack of correct understanding of autism can easily lead to isolation and discrimination, and we hope that through our cooperation with you, more people can understand the group of autistic people and give them more opportunities to integrate into us and society. ”
"As long as they go through scientific rehabilitation training and skill learning, they can also be competent for some jobs, instead of relying on their parents' care for life, which has a very positive significance for the families of autistic people and the whole society."
Qi Siyue handed Lin Dabao's latest set of clay figurines to Wei Min, "You see, this is made by a patient in our center. He has been living in the countryside for more than 20 years, missing the best language rehabilitation period, and still can't express himself normally, but his hands are very skillful, he can make straw weaving, he can knead clay figures, and he has also learned animation prototype making and figure making, and he can take care of himself in life and have his own income, which is a leap for him. ”
Wei Min looked at the lifelike clay figurine in his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This clay figurine is so cute!" It seems that Dean Qi is really full of talents here, I heard that although some autistic people are not good at expressing themselves, they are geniuses in some aspects, such as the math genius brother in "Rain Man", and Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump...... Does every child with autism have untapped potential in this area? ”
"No, it's not." Qi Siyue was worried that she would misinterpret after exaggerating in this regard, so she took out a document and explained to her: "In order to pursue artistry, film and television works will choose more dramatic characters to perform, but in real life, whether it is ordinary people or autistic people, geniuses are still very few." It's just that children with autism are prone to habitual repetitive movements, have a simple and stubborn personality, and can repeatedly repeat some rigid and boring work for ordinary people, so they can make better results than ordinary people in some aspects that require a lot of repetition and conform to their personal characteristics. ”
"So, people with autism are not mentally retarded or incapacitated at all, they are just stunted in language and communication, a little slower than we are."
"If we give them this opportunity to walk with them, even if they walk a little slower, they can live, study, work, and become an individual who can live independently."
……
After sending Wei Min away, Fang Zhou came back and gave Qi Siyue a thumbs up, "Dean, you spoke so well today, I was almost moved to tears." ”
Qi Siyue took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, shook her head gently, and said, "Actually, I haven't done enough, if it weren't for you, Professor Tang, and Mr. Zheng, our rehabilitation center wouldn't be where it is today." The more help I get, the more I hope to help more people and give back to the society. ”
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and looked up at the computer screen, which was open on the Weibo interface, "Weibo has been very popular in the past two years, you can also build an account for our center and learn from Mr. Zheng." ”
"Understood! I'm already working on it. Fang Zhou nodded and said, "I asked Yihua to find Professor Tang's authorization, and I am going to publish a few popular science articles first, and then write a few sensational stories......"
"Sensationalism doesn't have to be." Qi Siyue shook his head, interrupted his imagination, and said: "We are not stars, and we don't need to rely on sensationalism to win sympathy. Especially in our rehabilitation center, what we need is word-of-mouth and real cases, Yu Qian's lessons from the past, deception and exaggeration are taboos. ”
Fang Zhou suddenly froze and calmed down, "I understand, don't worry, Dean, I will pay attention to this." ”
Qi Siyue sighed for a moment, and then said: "The center has expanded a lot now, and we can consider recruiting some more rehabilitation training teachers to accept more patients." ”
"It's finally time for this day!" Fang Zhou sighed, and couldn't help but complain: "Dean, you don't know, how many calls I have to answer every day, all of them are here to seek medical treatment. Before, there was not enough place to live, teachers were limited, and just the people who made an appointment to register were lined up until next year! ”
Qi Siyue gave him a blank look, "You think you're the only one who has a phone?" I don't have a lot of that. Otherwise, do you think that Mr. Zheng will donate this place to us as a venue? There are not enough places and not enough people, how can she treat her baby daughter? ”
"It's good to be rich," Ark sighed, "perhaps, that's the reality of life!" ”
Qi Siyue said calmly: "You just saw that she could be admitted for treatment without making an appointment, did you see that because of the acceptance of a Zheng Qianru, how many poor children can we help with the donation we received?" There are two sides to everything, don't be an angry young man who can only talk about it. ”
"Dean, you are a personal attack, where am I angry!" Fang Zhou rubbed his nose and complained, "I'm just complaining to you." My mother said that I was again, and when she saw that the design copyright of Yihua could be sold for millions, she was worried that I was eating soft rice...... Alas, it's so hard to be a man! ”
"Aren't you?" Qi Siyue couldn't help but smile, "In this regard, you can talk to my Mr. Lin." ”
"Whether you eat soft rice or not depends on what you think. In a family, who earns more and earns less depends on personal ability. Obviously, you can't make as much money as your wife, but you have to be machismo and let your wife be at home, just listen to what others say is good and bad, and earn that little face, and others won't do it for you if your life is good or bad, is it interesting? ”
The ark was choked up and speechless, and quickly found an excuse to slip away.
Qi Siyue shook her head, a little helpless. Fang Zhou's family was wealthy since he was a child, and his parents were both high-level intellectuals, although he was busy with work and let him grow up like he is now, he didn't experience any setbacks, so he was extra face-saving.
If it goes on like this, he and Fang Yihua still have to endure the road.
This time, Lin Dabao made a name for himself by remembering the interview, and in the future, the peripheral stores in their center can have one more product.
However, the largest project to be open source should still be in Qingxi Village.
She had already sent a copy of the agreement signed with Qingxi Village to Assistant Gao, and he would arrange for professionals from the Nova Group to survey the terrain and route before designing it.
She didn't tell anyone else that the facility, which combines elderly care and rehabilitation, is an important part of her plan to help people with autism.
Many families of autistic people, the most difficult thing is not when the child is young, but when the parents are old, the patient can not live independently, let alone take care of the elderly, before there was a father with autism who was terminally ill, so he jumped off the building with the child and committed suicide, because he did not want to see that after his death, the child could not take care of himself and had a difficult life, and even could not live for a few years...... simply took it away before he died, and it was a hundred.
Although this incident is too cruel and extreme, it is not an isolated case in the family of an autistic person.
So in addition to considering those young autistic patients, she also has to consider the future employment of adults like Lin Dabao, as well as their pension problems, after all, just like she said to Wei Min today, geniuses are a minority, and ordinary ordinary people are the majority.
For adult autistic patients, they can be taught to learn basic nursing knowledge, to be able to take care of themselves at the same time, but also to take care of the elderly, those jobs do not require too high education and professional skills, more often what is needed is patience and not afraid of dirty and tired.
These can be taught to do this through repeated training.
After writing the plan for the new recuperation center according to this idea, Qi Siyue couldn't help but rub her neck, everything was developing in a good direction, although she was tired, she felt that it was worth it.
"Mom!" A crisp children's voice came from the door, Qi Siyue looked up and saw Lin Xiangyu holding his son and waving at the door, "Go home!" ”
"Good!" Qi Siyue laughed, turned off the computer, walked to the door and stretched out her hand to him, "Come, mom hug!" ”
Lin Anran just wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms, but was pulled by her father, "Mom works very hard, I can't hold you anymore, just kiss my mother, or my father." ”
The little guy flattened his mouth, although he was a little aggrieved, he obediently kissed Qi Siyue on the face, and then pressed hard in his father's arms, "An An is not fat!" ”
Qi Siyue smiled and kissed his fleshy little face, "Of course An An is not fat, it was Dad who was reluctant to hug you, so he grabbed it with Mom." ”
Lin Anran frowned and thought about it, before he reluctantly agreed, "Okay, Dad has also worked hard, An'an's kiss!" As he spoke, he turned his head and kissed Lin Xiangyu on the face, and then said disgustedly: "Dad's face is not as fragrant as Mama!" ”
Lin Xiangyu reached out and scratched his little nose, "This is starting to dislike Dad?" Who bathed you every night and rubbed incense, forgot? ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and squeaked his son, and the two laughed, Qi Siyue looked at them so lively, recalling that last year An Ran couldn't speak, silent and lonely.
Really, like in a dream.
