2 days ago, while waiting for bus ride home, I ran into a senior who took speech pathology at my campus. It was embarrassing that I knew absolutely nothing about it, I even related it with autopsy for once as people kept emphasizing the 'pathology' whenever it was mentioned.
For your information, the subject is named 'speech therapy' in UK.
Well, it's a field that concerns about those patients who have difficulties to speak. This is serious, not something you can just solve by patting on someone's shoulder.
Everyday we talk, in a way, a hope and a desire to establish a relationship that benefits, that makes you feel good when you defeat loneliness with it. When we talked, within seconds, audiences grasped what it is about you and you should be prepared for presenting yourself. We sweat our palms, our heart almost jump out from chest and we struggle hard to think how to impress people by our talk, the talk that label ourselves and help people to measure us.
And imagine, some of us are worrying how to open out their mouths and make a sound.
This is an issue that requires attention.
The future generation especially these children, who're having autism or fear to talk to people are shockingly a building up statistic.
I don't know how bad it hits Malaysia, but I see kids with it. If we narrow down to just focus on autism, it could be worse if more and more children refused to speak and couldn't go to school.
This has come to impacts on the education and next would be the generation that should be leading the country.
Amusingly, I only found this on the website when it was held 4 months ago, back in New York when at the same time I was celebrating April Fools' Day by pulling a prank on friends in the Matriculation.
It's called Light It Up Blue.
Sadly, I see nothing similar with it, here.
It's actually an awareness campaign about the autism, an disorder which people have to know what is it.
On the night of April 1, prominent buildings across North America and the world — including the Empire State Building in New York City and the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada — were lit up blue to raise awareness for autism and to commemorate World Autism Awareness Day on Friday, April 2.
They were aiming to light the world blue all throughout April — city by city, town by town — by taking action to raise autism awareness in their communities.
What people can do during Light it up Blue?

What people can do during Light it up Blue?
- Wear your Autism Speaks puzzle piece pin every day throughout the month of April, and tell people about autism if they ask about it.
- Change your Facebook profile picture to the Light It Up Blue logo and tag at least 10 of your friends.
- Post on your blog about how you are “lighting it up blue” to raise autism awareness.
- Add the Light It Up Blue logo to your e-mail signature … and type your e-mails in blue!
- Wear blue clothing and ask your co-workers, schools and friends to wear blue too. Take pictures and add them to our Flickr gallery.
- Bake puzzle piece shaped cookies and frost them with blue icing, then bring them to your school, work or place of worship to raise autism awareness.
You'll feel there's nothing much people can do about it but for sure, it helps, at least letting some of the people heard of the word, 'autism' for their first time and then they will mention it many times later by involving themselves in the process of advocating.
I remembered a friend said, 'Knowledge is power, but action is ultimatum'. [Wow!]
It was a world event. I tried to bing about it in Malaysia, but I found nothing.
Fortunately, we got this EAP (Early Autism Project). But the saddest part is, they don't include adolescent, that undergoes hard phase. However, they have a very high goal that at least brings comfort to the parents. If we don't raise awareness high enough, many wouldn't even know what's wrong with their child. Mostly, the syndrome shows itself at the early of three. But parents were just trying to convince that their children were just being unique.
Often, this kind of thinking plants regret to themselves for getting the kid treatment late!
And the best therapy should be happened at the earliest stage of brain, whenever it is malleable.
I just wish, at the same time university students are given space to contribute too...for more events that we should concern about.
The idea is not there yet, maybe at least our first instinct tells us, we should do something.
Some of the steps in our lives might seem small and low, but it's actually telling other people to learn from you and it's important that we always learn from each other.
At least, you might be interested to find out more about autism after this.
