Thousands of times of prayer, only for miracles When Niuniu (pseudonym) was one year old, Mother Zhang (pseudonym) found the child's abnormality: "Niuniu could not look at others, and she had no reaction, no pronunciation, and poor coordination of limbs." Mother Zhang and her husband took Niuniu to the hospital for inspection. First, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and then she was diagnosed with severe typical autism. Mother Zhang looked at the little girl in her arms. Her eyes were big, her skin was white, and her hair was black. She was so cute. She asked herself again and again, "How did the child get this disease?"

Young Niuniu can't stretch his fingers straight, nor can he lift his arms, so he will fall down when he walks. "Since then, my father and I have devoted almost all our energy to our children." Mother Zhang said that she seemed "trapped" at that time, and she was obsessed with learning how to get along with autistic children and how to help them with behavior training intervention. She prayed that miracles would happen again and again, and only in this way could she have a little sense of security, Feel a little hope of life.
It's not too late, only can't afford it
"Mo, Mo, Mo, Mo, open your mouth and say, you can" In the rehabilitation center, the teacher is carrying out systematic rehabilitation training with foam. Mo Mo (not her real name) lives in Nanpiao District, Huludao City. Her father suffers from serious mental illness and her mother suffers from mild mental retardation. Mo Mo could not speak when she was 4 years old. She could only make "ah, ah" sounds, ignored people, didn't listen to instructions, didn't look at adults, and didn't communicate with adults. When Dad got sick, he often fought against Mo Mo, who never took the initiative to resist.

After discovering Mo Mo's condition, her family took her to the hospital for examination. Mo Mo was diagnosed as an autism spectrum disorder. "The cost of autism rehabilitation treatment is high, which is hard for families like us to bear, so we have not intervened in Mo Mo's illness, which has led to the gradual severity of the illness and further social barriers." Mo Mo's grandmother said to us in tears.
The number of mentally handicapped children is far more than you and I can imagine
The number of autistic children like Niuniu and Momo is far beyond our imagination. According to the sixth national population census and the second national sampling survey of the disabled, there are about 12 million to 20 million people with mental disorders in China, including people with developmental retardation (mental retardation), autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, and Down's syndrome. Restricted by public awareness, regional medical level and medical resources, most of the mentally handicapped have not received scientific and systematic treatment and rehabilitation. Some families, like foam, are unable to pay expensive fees and have to give up the opportunity of children's education and rehabilitation. Some parents, because of long-term care for special children, under multiple pressures of economy, spirit and society, Deeply trapped in suffocating despair, he even thought of taking his children to "get rid of it". Every mentally handicapped family is experiencing hardships and hardships that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
