Hello, I am sister of autistic teenager

YAN
over 2 years ago

This is Yan. I come from China and now study in London.

My brother is 17 years old now. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 5. My parents got crazy after that. 

My mother has tried all the methods she could to cure my brother, including attending special education school, normal primary school and middle school, having Chinese medicine etc.

Meanwhile, my father accepts it and puts more attention on work to earn more money as a way to escape...

I know that the support system for Autism in the UK is much better than in China. So, I would like to learn more about supporting the Autism group and also the Autism family group in the forum. And then help improve China's autism support system.

Nice to meet you here.

Thanks a lot!

    First, be the friend she needs. Second, try and contact her parents and say what you have been seeing and maybe that will open them up to making a doctors appointment. Third, tell her that it’s ok if she is on the spectrum and that you will help her if she needs anything. That’s the best advice I would give.
