Don’t let disorders and hurdles stop you

In my life, I have gotten to know someone who suffers from ASD, autism spectrum disorder. Those who suffer from this disorder, face difficulty with social skills, communication, learning and behavior. They find it difficult to communicate and socialise with others and may also face difficulty in learning.

The person’s dream was to do well in school and crack IIT (India’s institute of technology). To get into it, you need to work very hard to achieve the highest marks in one of the most difficult exams.

Despite facing a lot of difficulties, he never gave up. He worked hard each day. Gaining help and support from his teachers, parents and peers. He cracked it in one go.

He never once let his disorder get in the way of achieving what he desired the most. Working harder than anyone could have, he set a great example. This is one such case that shows how hard work and the will to do what you desire can lead you to success.

You shouldn’t let any disorder or issue stop you from doing what you need to achieve what you want. If you yourself believe you can’t do anything and give up, you can’t do it. But if you believe in yourself and give it a go, nothing can stop you. Nothing is impossible and everyone is capable of attaining success.

Losing hope is something you should never do. If you have someone who suffers from any disorder, don’t discourage them. Listening to people saying “you can’t do anything”, “your life is ruined”, “now nothing is possible”, can lead to shattering the lives of those who suffer. It can destroy their hopes and make them believe whatever others say. Encouraging them, telling them they can do it, supporting them can bring positive changes and help them immensely.

Not being ashamed of who you are is very important. As parents, friends, and family not being ashamed of them is very important. Letting them mingle normally with people, run around and socialise instead of restricting them in houses is something everyone should do.

A supportive social support, hardwork, positive mindset, believing in yourself, not giving up, is what can take you one step closer to your goal.

Never give up and don’t let anything restrain you from doing what you love!
