A famous entrepreneur who ranks among the top 500 in the world once regretfully said that "no matter how hard I work in this life, I will succeed. I have created the ideal life I want so far.", but I am unable to change my grandson's future. I am very worried. However, his grandson thinks it’s OK that he is am autistic. Just like another autistic child said, I understand I'm obviously a zebra, why do you want to turn me into an ordinary horse?
