    威利爸爸彭灼西 — 《拯救威利》的主人公 彭威利出生在美国休斯顿的一个新移民家庭,5岁时被确诊为自闭症,生活自理能力和语言表达能力远远落后于其他同龄的孩子。如今,30岁的威利不仅能够独立工作,而且可以用中英文双语表达自己的感想和观点。 不久前,威利在脸书上用英语写下了这段感言,威利的爸爸翻译成中文之后,在此跟我们分享其中的一部分: “我童年的大部分时光是糟糕透顶,不堪回首。因为有学习迟缓和语言发展障碍问题,导致我终日挣扎在困境中。 是的,我完全可以终日痛苦,抱怨上苍的不公。也可以选择放弃,向命运低头认输。 我最终的选择是:没有任何困难可以成为我生命中前进的阻碍。我为自己制定了更高的人生目标,并为之奋斗。神将成为我生命中的舵手,为我的人生之旅制定前行方向。” 我们有幸请到威利的爸爸来分享伴随威利成长的经历,以及其中的辛酸和喜悦。 William Peng was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5. His family was advised to learn sign language and his parents wished that he could one day remember his home address. Today, at the age of 30, Willy lives and works independently AND he speaks English and Chinese fluently! He said this on his Facebook: “I’ve had a mostly crap childhood. I’ve struggled with learning and speech impairments. I’ve had to learn slower than many people around me. Yes, I could’ve stayed bitter and get mad at the world. I could’ve given up and thrown in the towel. I could simply keep being negative and pessimistic about life. But in the end, I made the choice to not let anything hold me back, to aim higher, shoot for the stars, and let God take the helm in my life and person. And I know in my heart that I will one day be part of something much bigger than myself under the calling of God above.”
