WHAT IS AUTISME ? (2)

GAMBAR HIASAN
SESAYU INIKAH WAJAH SEORANG IBU APABILA ANAKNYA DISAHKAN AUTISME ?

That is the professional view.
To us, Autism is a seven-year old little boy who is not yet out of diapers and has not yet learned to talk.
To kids at school or on the playground, autism is simply what makes Bobby a “retard.”
To us, autism is sitting in an audiologist’s office while our two-year old son’s hearing is tested and praying that he is deaf because there is something you can do about deafness.
To some, autism is Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man obsessing over Judge Wapner or counting the queens remaining in a blackjack deck.
To us, autism is getting a diagnosis and pouring over the medical literature only to find at every turn that there is “no known cause, no known cure, no approved medical treatments.”
To some, autism is the surreal aspect of savants performing feats of memory or mathematical calculation (like the little autistic boy in Mercury Rising) while being otherwise non-communicative.
To us, it is playing with Bobby at the swimming pool and seeing flashes of a normal happy child locked inside him and being unable to break down the wall that prevents us from rescuing our son. I have more to say, much more, but right now, at this moment, the pain is simply too great.
