Today was officially my last day volunteering at the group home :( I leave Beijing tomorrow! Even though it has been a sad, sad day (lots of tears...), it still hasn't really hit me yet. I guess I still haven't fully accepted that I won't be returning to the group home on Monday and watching the teens get dropped off, one by one, for the week.
Even though I'm leaving Stars & Rain and China, I will continue blogging about autism abroad and autism in general. I thought that 3 months would be enough time to write about everything I've observed about autism in China, but there is still so much more I want to write about and so many more photos to share!
I have yet to write about the ABA VB Workshop Part II... about the rest of my weekend trip to Nanjing... about my interview with China's first autism teacher... about my cooking lesson with Tian tonight...and much more. I will also be visiting an autism center in Singapore within the next couple of weeks - I'm really excited to observe the similarities/differences and learn more about services for people with autism in Singapore. As you can see, there will be lots more to come :)

Looking forward to hearing about China's first autism teacher.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to learn more about Singapore too. In some ways it is similar, in other ways it is different.
Singapore has picked up a lot of information from the Asia Pacific.
