Autism does not mean not talking, ignoring people, and not socializing. People who are lonely are often referred to as autism, but they actually have the ability to socialize, and autism is afraid of being approached by people. Tianbao is afraid of her mother's hug. Whenever her mother hugs her, she will tremble, so scared that she wants to run away, but in order to integrate into the society, she gradually overcomes this fear. But she likes cows very much, she is not afraid at all, she is close to them, hugs them, cows make her feel at ease, autism makes Tianbao different from ordinary people, she will not think "not close to people, but close to cows, Wouldn't that be weird?", she just followed her instincts and did what made her feel at ease.
This is an ability that ordinary people envy. We often restrict our behaviors because of external values and social norms. Even if there are many behaviors that do not violate these rules, it is very strange. No one does this. We don’t dare to try it, or we don’t even think about doing it again and again after trying it, and then we like it and do it. We just hold the mentality of experience and end it once.
At the university graduation stage when I was in a period of confusion in my life, I did not find a career that I really wanted to pursue, and there were things I liked very much. It is a happy thing to be able to find what you like exactly according to your instincts, and you have less trouble with false choices, and you can focus more on one thing. This will be a point that I will often think about in the future, and use this as a reference to follow my heart more when making decisions.
