IMPORTANCE OF FINDING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
《正确求助的重要性》
The journey of raising a child with autism involves the following:
以下是抚养自闭症孩子要经历的历程:
1. Recognising our emotional state – Our feelings often have a
huge influence on our actions. It is important to take some time to
reflect on how these feelings are experienced at different stages of
this journey.
认识自己的情绪状态―― 由于我们的感受往往对行为有巨大影响,
因此我们有必要花时间深刻了解成长过程中不同阶段的感受。
2. Have an Empowering Mindset – recognizing the potential that
the child has. Help him/her to fulfill it by focusing on and building
upon what he/she can do.
3. Protect your empowering mindset – Involving others in caregiving
is a common tip for parents and is greatly encouraged. However,
there is a need to put a distance between us and those who bring
us down. With this, helpful relationships can be further cultivated.

4. Have a long-term mindset - Thinking long term helps in coming
up with the best strategy to transition successfully through each
child’s adolescence and adulthood. While doing so, it is equally
important to know when to let go so that we have breathing space.
积极赋能的心态―― 认识孩子的潜能。帮助孩子专注于做力所能
及的事,以达成目标。
保护积极赋能的心态―― 一般而言,我们建议(和提倡)父母让他
人参与对孩子的照顾。要发掘培养有益的关系,同时远离那些带来
麻烦的人。
长期思维―― 以长期思维来制定最佳策略,帮助孩子成功度过青
春期和成年。同时,知道何时放手也同样重要,要让自己有一定喘
息的空间。
作者还介绍了实用的技巧,帮助孩子和父母在家庭和社区中共同成

With the right mindset, the author goes on to cover practical tips
