Read the English version (An Assignment From God)
我是一名自閉症孩子的母親，從孩子被診斷為自閉症距今已有8年時間了。現在回頭想想，往事歷歷在目。
和所有的家長一樣，最初的日子，我內心充滿了絕望、無助，每天都在痛苦中掙扎，經過一段時間調整後，才開始帶著孩子走上了康復道路。孩子在兩歲到七歲之間，一直在公立的康復中心上學，我自己天天陪護。但孩子一直都沒有進步，而且出現情緒問題，每天都會哭鬧甚至自殘。我每天帶著他，心理壓力很大，時刻活在焦慮恐懼之中，覺得生活沒有希望了⋯⋯
在我最難的時候，天使之家讓彩虹工程知道了我的情況，給予我們関愛支持，彩虹工程資助了孩子的學費，讓他在天使之家進行康復訓練，於是我才知道「社會性」訓練的重要性。這種干預方法所提倡的是培養孩子的自理、與別人相處溝通，並獨立生活的能力。當時我就很希望能夠好好學習理論知識，幫助孩子，可是因為要打工，沒有時間學習。
感謝神的安排，神很愛我，透過彩虹工程的老師培訓計劃，給了我經濟上的援助，讓我可以放下工作，專心學習，我希望更多的孩子能夠接受社會性康復訓練，只有孩子得到了正確的康復，家長才能充滿盼望繼續努力前行。
這是神給我的使命，是祂讓我軟弱變為堅強，走出陰霾迎向光明，神將祂的大愛充滿了我的心。我會好好學習，盼能成為一位很好的老師，全心投入服務，與家長同行，關愛自閉症的孩子。
我更要謝謝彩虹的老師們，特別是他們的同工YY，在過去幾年，YY一直關懷幫助我在靈性上的成長，鼓勵我藉著讀經禱告認識神，我在生活的難處中經歷了神的實在，因此我決志信主，並在本年的復活節受洗歸入基督，成為神的兒女。請大家繼續為我禱告。感謝主！謝謝大家。

AN ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD
An Assignment From God
I am the mother of a child with autism. It has been 8 years since my son Liang Haoran was diagnosed with autism. Looking back now, my experience of raising a disabled child is vivid and unforgettable.
Like all parents, at first my heart was filled with despair and helplessness. I struggled with pain every day. After a long period of adjustment, I decided to take my child to a center for rehabilitation.
Haoran attended the school 5 days/week from age 2 to 7 and I accompanied him daily. Not only did he not make progress, he developed emotional problems. He cried and self-harmed himself every day. I felt great pressure and lived in anxiety and fear. I found no hope in life.
When I was at my lowest, individuals from RM and Angel House Autism Rehabilitation Center learned about our situation, visited me at home and offered us financial help. RM’s sponsorship program funded Liang Haoran’s tuition, allowing him to receive rehabilitation training at Angel House. That was when I began to learn about and realize the effectiveness of social skills training to help children on the autism spectrum. It advocates learning and practicing independent living skills in one’s daily life. I hoped I could have time to focus on learning and then implement the knowledge and techniques to improve the development of my child. But due to my family’s financial situation, I had to work and had no time to study.
God loves me very much and gave me the opportunity to study and help others. Last September, RM approached me and offered an opportunity to financially support me so I could learn and equip myself to become a teacher for children on the autism spectrum. I believe this is a special assignment from God. He made my weak heart strong and my dark life bright. He filled my heart with His love. I will study hard, apply the methods I master to help the children, understand them, care for them, love them, and cultivate their potentials so they can live and work independently, give back to society, and become a blessing to others.
I would also like to thank the teachers of RM, especially their local worker, YY. Over the past few years, YY has been supporting me to grow spiritually. She encouraged me to know God through Bible studies and prayers. I have experienced God’s faithfulness at the midst of difficulties in life. I decided to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior, and would be baptized at church on Easter Sunday, 2021. Please continue to pray for me. Praise God! Thank you all.
