We are unfortunately born "normal"

Temple Grandin, the name is unfamiliar to many people, and it was the first time I heard of it until the movie of the same name became a hot spot in major film awards. But in the world of autism, this is a well-known name. Since I came into contact with autism by chance in 2005, I have read many related materials and books. Among them, Temple Grandin is definitely an eye-catching name. Tianbao suffered from autism since childhood. This still means that for many patients today, it will be difficult to communicate with people normally, lack of speech function, and it is difficult to take care of themselves in life, and they can only live in their own world for the rest of their lives. It is inseparable from 24-hour monitoring. However, Tianbao has grown into a university professor with a doctorate degree, published more than 200 professional papers, is one of the most successful designers of animal husbandry management systems in the world, and established his own company. Because of Trimble’s obvious achievements in combating autism, another major aspect of her life outside of her job is to participate in various autism speeches around the world. Many parents of children with autism in China are inspired by the experience of Trimble. How did Tianbao create the miracle of his own life? This problem has been explained to some extent in the dramatic film. I don't want to quote her material here for further explanation. After watching the movie, in addition to being surprised and moved, and aroused the enthusiasm for overcoming difficulties, what I think is more that being born "normal" may be even more unfortunate for some people. For example, people who have emotional barriers, poor expression, over-sensitivity, but are confined to the "normal" range and therefore are not considered and understood. They struggled between normal and abnormal throughout their lives, and their own understanding of themselves had to be affected by a lot of "objective" views. Perhaps it is a bit ridiculous to say that. The life of any autistic person is full of hardships. What qualifications do normal people have to compare hardships with them? As an autistic patient, Trimble is lucky. She met a well-educated mother who believed in herself and did not give up easily, an aunt who provided selfless assistance and truly cared about her feelings. She also met a teacher who guided her with love and knowledge. This is also every " The most precious wealth a normal" child can imagine to possess-it is all this that makes Tianbao always understand that he is different from others on the rugged road of life, but he is no worse than others! ("Different,but not less." )——Being Tianbao can be different, and different is a must. As a "normal person", because we are normal, every little thing we do right will not be affirmed and valued. We can only strive to reach the upper reaches of the huge normal population, trying to gain a place in the fierce competition. People with better talents always appear, and they increasingly find themselves powerless in the face of the so-called reality. To accept the "different", for many normal people, it may not be possible to do it in a lifetime. For Tianbao, she had to accept the loneliness different from most people. For us, we have to accept the loneliness of being in the crowd. The moment I was still floating in the sky, the next moment I realized that I was extremely lonely, which was profoundly different from others. Like children with autism, we may be more sensitive than others in different ways, and our tolerance to the external environment is not the same. However, understanding and understanding each individual is a luxury for this world, so we choose to reject the "weird" of others and choose to hide our "special". People with autism do not have such a high degree of self-awareness, they will not hide, but completely expose their clumsiness and unsuitability to the attention of others. It is very fragile, but it also forces people to get used to it and force people to understand. Even if it will always cause discomfort to others, the environment is adapting to them, and society is changing for them (of course, this process is very slow and painful). As a normal person, we have to keep adapting. In the process of adapting, we lose our speciality, our sensitivity, and the ability to perceive things that others could not perceive. As a result, we have adapted to all the behaviors of the adult world that once felt weird, unnatural and hypocritical (many of them must be said to be extremely abnormal!), so we "mature", become more social, and comfortably become on this planet A member of the crowd staring at each other no longer distinguishes each other. If compared with the problems that people with autism like Tianbao need to face, we are lucky to be born "normal", why do we--we think we have the right to judge what is normal and what is abnormal, but Don't have more confidence to face those rough external forces that want to change us? Facing the ridicule of others, the judgment of doctors, the secular wisdom of the school and society, Tianbao’s relatives firmly believed that she should receive a normal education, and patiently told everyone: "She is just different, but not Not worse than you." This is a belief that everyone needs. A simple, harmless and extremely true belief. This belief makes Tianbao the Tianbao today. This belief Created countless miracles on earth. And I can always see many normal people around me. Not only are they normal, but fortunately they have the talent, family background, and appearance. However, under their superior appearance, they have no confidence in themselves. They need the support of their peers, psychologists, placebos, fashion, and knowledge. In fact, the deep pain in their hearts is that they are afraid of being less and afraid of being different. Because they are afraid that they are not close enough to the "normal" standard, they choose to lose themselves, choose not to believe in themselves, and choose not to choose. Tianbao's sky is still mutilated, as each of us will have more or less, but she bravely made her own choice, and she walked through that door. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ (I am not satisfied with the Chinese translation of autism, no matter how Whether it is autism or autism, both contain too strong emotional color, which can easily be misunderstood as an emotional disorder or mental illness, or even simply understood as an emotion.
