Magic 魔術
I have something exciting to tell you. I like to call it magic, because that’s what it feels like for me. I was given an opportunity to test a pair of glasses that are designed to help autistic people with sensory overloads and sensory processing. I first need to back up to when I first…
Autistic Masking 掩蓋自閉症
I figured since the name of this website has to do with “Autistic Masking”, we should probably talk about what that is, right? The short answer is that autistic masking is hiding or suppressing autistic symptoms or traits in order to be accepted by others, or to make life easier in some way. Hence, the…
What is Autism? 什麽是自閉症？
I have plenty of topics I want to cover, but there’s no point in that if we don’t know what autism is. Some of you may be familiar with how some doctors describe it. What I want to do is a little different. I will go over the current medial diagnostic criteria for ASD, but…
Welcome! 歡迎！
As you may have noticed, this site is bilingual: English and Mandarin Chinese. This is because I have many people in my life who I care about who speak this language. My first language is English and my Chinese isn’t as wonderful as I would like, but I do know that many Chinese speaking people don’t have as much access to information about Autism and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). I also know there are Asian Americans, where the child speaks mostly, if not all, English and the parents’ English isn’t as proficient. My hope is that this site can serve as a bridge between those two worlds. Most of the information on this site will be contained on my blog.
您可能已經註意到，該網站是雙語的：英文和中文。這是因為我一生中有很多人在乎誰會說這種語言。我的第一語言是英文，而我中文並沒有我想要的那麽好，但我確實知道許多會説中文的人沒有太多機會訪問此信息：自閉症和ASD(自閉症譜系障礙)。我也知道有亞裔美國人，而且經常有孩子會說大多英文，即使不是全部都是英文，但父母會在英文方面掙扎。我希望這個網站可以將兩種語言和文化聯繋在一起。您可以在我的部落格上找到大多數信息。
“Don’t think that there’s a different, better child ‘hiding’ behind the autism. This is your child. Love the child in front of you. Encourage his strengths, celebrate his quirks, and improve his weaknesses, the way you would with any child. 不要認為自閉症背後有另一個更好的孩子【躲藏】。這是你的孩子。愛在你前面的孩子。像對待其他孩子一樣，鼓勵他的長處，慶祝他的怪癖，並改善他的弱點。”
