Lu To Vy's life is narrated through his own memories, with stories that are entirely real, entirely intimate, and mundane like the lives of many others, not romanticized, not idealized.

'My Child is Not Stupid, My Child Just Smarter in a Different Way', this phrase from his father helped Lu To Vy always believe in himself and never stop striving.

The book My Child is Not Stupid, My Child Just Smarter in a Different Way is truly an inspiring book about the will to live that no one should overlook. Because it makes readers believe that miracles exist, that everyone's life can also become a miraculous life if they have enough determination to make it happen.

The book '10 Things Autism Children Want You to Know' by author Ellen Notbohm, translated by Thuy Trang, will help you understand special, beautiful, and lovely children in a peculiar way. This book will equip you with the simplest yet most essential understanding of the basic factors of autism. This understanding significantly influences the child's ability to move towards adulthood independently and effectively.

The book has self-promoted its existence; precisely why has it made such a big splash? Because this book raises the voice of a child, a voice often unheard in the increasing din about autism. The continuous, often noisy dialogues are effective and commendable. But what could be more ironic than when the subjects they discuss are known to be unable to express themselves and advocate for themselves?

Individual and collective attitudes towards autism are shaped by the language we choose to define it. Provocative and provocative comments and opinions, whether intentional or unintentional, capture our attention. We can respond to them, we can despair because of them. But perhaps the subtle nuances of the language we use have hindered the development of healthy perspectives on children's autism.

The mother's heart surged with pain, oh heavens, she realized that others didn't see her child as a human being and didn't treat her child like a human being. She woke up and pulled her child back, hugged the child close, the child frightened, burying their head into the mother's chest, in that moment she knew her child recognized her, only she could be the child's refuge. She made a decision, she would be the one to accompany her child, only the mother could bring the child back, she couldn't entrust her flesh and blood to anyone, to any center no matter what they said about it or how much.

The journey of accompanying the child, gaining and losing, even 'trading,' as she said it was a 'choice,' she chose to be with the child, chose to accompany the child in overcoming autism to return to a normal life even though she had to make sacrifices, that was the choice of giving up her favorite job and opportunities for advancement, even when family happiness wasn't complete she only received her children.
