早上7點整，季齡站在我臥房門口。 “ Breakfast!” 他是一字大師， 惜字如金，卻總是一語中的， 直切重點。例如，我開車時, 季齡是最佳導航，我只要告訴他去哪兒，他一路簡短的說：left lane； 或 right turn； 當我偶一分神， 季齡總是很平靜的提醒我，” straight” or “exit,” 有時快到紅綠燈還沒踩剎車，他會緊張的說：” stop！ stop！“ 這是唯一說兩次的話。只有提醒，絕不指責！季齡是絕對的好夥伴。 Continue reading 自閉的優勢
At 7 am sharp, Chiling shows up at my bedroom doorway. “Breakfast!” He is the master of one word expressions; cherishing his words like gold, he always gets to the point with just a single word. For instance, as my driving navigator, I simply have to tell Chiling the destination, and he will direct me with perfect instructions: “left lane,” or “right turn.” Sometimes, when I get distracted, he never fails to calmly remind me of the next step: “straight” or “exit.” When he sees a red light coming up and I have not started to hit the brakes, Chiling will raise his voice nervously: “Stop! Stop!” This is the only situation with two words. I always receive gentle reminders from Chiling, never harsh criticisms. Chiling is undoubtedly my best partner. Continue reading Perfect Autism
