我很榮幸於上週末的世界關懷自閉症日,參加「點亮藍燈」的活動,不僅有自閉症青少年美妙的音樂表演,還有著藍衣的自行車騎士穿梭在信義商圈,而台北101也點亮藍燈,希望提高大眾對自閉症的認識。自閉症是因腦部發展時出現異常,在台灣有數萬名患者,全球則更多達數千萬。讓我們每個人都盡自己的一份力量,接納他們、協助他們及家屬,讓自閉症患者和其他身心障礙者都能享有豐富的人生、實現他們的夢想! --- 陳舲舲 (梅處長夫人) #FromKathyChen
I was honored to help Taiwan "Light It Up Blue" on World Autism Awareness Day this past weekend. A group of autistic youth performed some wonderful music, bikers in blue cycled around the Xinyi Commercial District, and Taipei 101 lit up in blue to increase awareness of the disorder. Caused by problems during brain development, autism affects tens of thousands in Taiwan, and tens of millions of people worldwide. Let's all do our small part to accept and support them, and their families, so those with autism and other disabilities can live a rich life and achieve their dreams…Kathy Chen
