Do you know what autism is?

When most people hear this question they will confidently answer yes, but I bet you don't know what the real meaning of autism is. It's a congenital cerebral disability that affects language, awareness, feelings, behaviors and relationships. According to some, they are called “star's children” because they are in their own world where they can have fun by themselves but don't know how to communicate with others. This distance between parents and children often causes their parents to feel great pressure. The parents long to understand their children and get into their world but they can never fully reach their children. They greatly love their children and desire that their children be able to experience a normal life.
