As the saying goes, we may as well feel at ease with our current situation. But it is easier said than done. It takes great pains and efforts to make it. Everyone in the world tries to realize his beautiful dream, and I am no exception. But things changed after my son Tzu-Tzu suffered from, and was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a mother of an autist, I have experienced several turns in my journey of heart: from being unable to accept the truth to making a compromise with myself". After looking back over the past suffering, I have broken through the perplexityin my heart. Now I play multiple roles among a self helper, a helper and a client. The story is told in a first-person narrative to express what I have truly experienced. When playing the role of a self helper or a client, my vision and views alter accordingly. As an autist’s mother, I narrate my real story and what I have explored. Participating in my autistic son’s growing also helps me to grow. Notably, I have grown out of my old feeling—discrimination complex and anxiety,and have discovered the current mainstream virtue. In my opinion, getting a late start does not matter. I believe everyone is worth a wonderful journey in his/her life no matter how late he/she gets start.
