Crossing the street alone
Viet Nam News “So your aunt and I will be gone for a few weeks. You’ll take care of the shop. In the evening Vân will be home and review the day’s trade. Don’t worry about business. You’re better off here anyway, because you don’t have anything else to do while waiting for a job offer other than wandering around inhaling traffic smoke or sitting at cafes ogling unemployed girls in short skirts and high heels. It wouldn’t be fun. You’d better look after the shop for us, or else we’ll have to close it and lose customers. Look, we can’t let customers walk away.

Autism: Don’t let it be a lonely world
Viet Nam News By Dr. Jonathan Halevy Understanding autism Human beings are “social creatures”. We communicate through body language, gestures, facial expressions, sounds and verbal language. A child with autism, however, is unable to learn these social and communication skills. He has difficulty in understanding and developing a language; he won’t show interest in communicating with other children or adults, seeking their attention or paying attention to them. He won’t be able to interpret the meaning of gestures, body language and expressions. He will struggle to understand other people’s emotions. Some of these children may have limited interest in their surroundings. They will develop a strict and repetitive behaviour. They may play with the same toy repeatedly, often without understanding the nature of the toy (banging a toy car again and again, instead of “driving” it). They will not have an “imaginary friend” like … [Read more...] about Autism: Don’t let it be a lonely world
