My Special Journey (生命无缺)

I was watching this documentary - My Special Journey (生命无缺) on Channel U. This documetary is so close to our hearts, esp. to us who are healthcare professionals.

My Special Journey chronicles the special journeys - sometimes uplifting but most often tough- taken by the special needs people. More importantly we hear of stories of braved and optimistic ones who never gave up hope, and family members and friends and community who never shrank away from their support. (extracted from Channel U website )

This week, it is about austism.

It features 3 people with austism. There is a gal who left a great impact on me.

The father of the gal said that he was making her(the gal) to eat the supplements and she caught hold of his hands and said, "Can you respect me?"

Sometimes, as care-givers, we are anxious for our loved ones to recover but neglect other aspects.

Sometimes, it is these special people that make us realize our mistakes and help us to grow.

Next week, the show will still be on but the topic will be on Intellectually Disabled (ID).
