After reading the book My Sister is Different, I was deeply shocked for a long time, because I never realized that in the face of families with mentally retarded children, their feelings are helpless, they can't choose, they can't get rid of their inner suffering, and they can only accept it silently. Coupled with the strange eyes of outsiders, this anxiety has deepened invisibly, stinging their relatives with mentally retarded children.
I admire the mother and grandmother in the book. They face the reality frankly and will not feel sorry for themselves because they have mentally retarded children at home, nor will they lock Terry in the house. Instead, they hope Carol can take Terry out for a walk.
Let's talk about Carol again. In fact, Carol does not have a dry heart, but generally reflects the helplessness of mentally retarded children. Especially when she attracts teasing from playmates and others, her first reaction is to get rid of him and even hope that he is not my sister.
From this, we know that there are mentally retarded children at home, and relatives have to face not only the fact of mentally retarded children, but also how to overcome the courage to leave home. They accept that my sister is different from others' sisters. Although she is old, she can't take care of and guide her siblings like other people's sisters. Only when she is laughed at, that annoying and uneasy mood is constantly staged every day. In retrospect, when I saw a seriously ill child or a mentally retarded person, I actually used ignorant and pitiful eyes. It's really embarrassing to say this. Now I am learning to love, care and accept, because I know that for the seriously ill or mentally retarded, they all need love from society. Only when your heart is full of love will you find that these seriously ill children and mentally retarded people are all our relatives. Take care of them with a caring attitude and learn to accept them.
Therefore, only by understanding the differences between people with mental retardation can we explore the advantages of people with mental retardation, because they are as pure as angels, even if their joys and sorrows come from inner kindness, they will not be hidden at all. By contrast, we are much more complicated.
In a word, my sister's book is different, which gives me a deep inspiration and completely changes my view on seriously ill children and mentally retarded people. I can also treat them sincerely, understand and respect them with empathy.
