　　They are a special group of children who are usually tagged with such labels as "emotionally withdrawn", "severely lacking in language and social skills" and "behaviorally abnormal". However, for all we know, they might be Raymond Babbitt, the superhuman math whizz made famous by the film Rainman, or Dafu, who finally learned the basic skills he required to live his life in Ocean Heaven.

　　Various art forms, including painting, music, dance and sculpture, have proven to be effective therapies for autistic children, who are usually incapable of everyday communication through language.

　　According to the latest statistics, there are currently about 67 million people suffering from autism worldwide. Known as a disorder of neural development, the disease affects 1 out of every 150 new-born children. In China alone, there are more than 1 million autism sufferers, and the number is gradually increasing. The disease is China's main cause of children's mental disability and impairment.

　　根据最新的统计,目前有6700万人患有自闭症全球。已知的神经发展为一种精神疾病,这种疾病影响一次每150新生的孩子。仅在中国,就有超过100万个自闭症患者,而且这个数目正在逐渐增加。这种疾病的主要原因是中国的儿童智力残疾和损害。

　　Because the disease cannot be cured, most families with autistic children face a long, hard road, both mentally and financially. Statistics show that rehabilitative treatment typically costs a family between 15,000 and 30,000 yuan annually. Many families are forced to discontinue such treatments due to costs and a lack of rehabilitation facilities. About 80 percent of autistic children are not covered by rehabilitation programs.

　　因为疾病不能被治愈,大多数对自闭症儿童家庭面对一个漫长艰苦的路,无论在心理和经济上的资助。统计表明,典型的家庭康复治疗费用15000 - 30000元左右。许多家庭被迫中断的方法由于成本和缺乏康复设施。大约80%的患有孤独症的孩子并没有涉及到康复计划。

　　Not surprisingly, parents are feeling the strain, and they also worry about the future. "We are joining hands with other families in the same situation as us to try and figure out ways to help our children. However, we are limited in terms of what we can do and we lack strength," said the mother of an autistic boy named Dongdong.

　　毫不奇怪,父母们感到压力,他们也担心未来。“我们正携起手与其他家庭的情况一样我们试着找出方法帮助我们的孩子。然而,我们是有限的来说,我们能做什么,我们缺乏力量,”妈妈回答说一个患有自闭症的男孩叫的东东。

　　She added that a lack of social understanding, along with a lack of tolerance and recognition remain the greatest challenges, even for rehabilitated autistic children who have been prepared for normal, everyday life and careers. Such children, she believes, face contempt, ignorance and slim job opportunities. Not surprisingly, she worries about Dongdong's long-term future.

　　她补充说,由于缺乏社会的认识,以及缺乏足够的宽容和识别仍然是最大的挑战,甚至对自闭症儿童的人"已经开始准备正常、日常生活和事业。这样的孩子,她相信,面对蔑视、无知和苗条的工作机会。毫不奇怪,她担心东东的长期的未来。

　　"What worries me most is that, when the day comes that his father and I can no longer take care of him, who can we entrust him to?"

　　“最使我焦虑的是,当有一天,他的父亲和我再也无法照顾他,谁能我们委托他吗?”
