A Lesson from My Sister
My parents worked very hard at ensuring that everything seemed pleasant for me and I mostly ignored the fact that my elder sister was different. The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”(阿斯伯格综合症,一种自闭障碍).This diagnosis turned my parents world upside down-but they never let it affect me.
It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences, and become conscious of my social life and self-image that I had carefully cultivated. My sister was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would mumble(嘟哝)to herself and repeat the words she had just said under her breath. She, however, was academically capable, and hence we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever acknowledged in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, just two years ago, that remains imprinted in my consciousness. It was the incident that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.
Being in primary six, about to graduate, my sister and her classmates had to put up a performance, whether in a group,or individually. Due to her inability to integrate(融入),my sister was the only one left without a group. The school had made it a rule for everyone to put up an item, so my sister had to perform individually. ”I’ll sing.” my sister told my parents, confidently. Hearing that, I was taken aback and completely shocked. I knew she would embarrass me, one way or another. “No!” I protested. My parents shot me a look and that was when I knew my sister was going to perform, no matter what. Silently, I prayed that something would happen and I would not have to watch my sister shame herself.
That day came. I sat in the hall,waiting for the performances to start. The lights dimmed(变昏暗) a minute or two later and the curtains parted to reveal the only solo-my sister. She blinked(眨眼)a couple of times, as if the lights shining on her were hurting her eyes.
