The Disabled Demand More Help
残疾人要求更多帮助
  Few people relish a visit to the dentist. For those who are autistic,  it can involve unusual torment—some people with the condition have extremely sensitive mouths. Most of China’s autistic people avoid going. But bad teeth can also make them miserable. So last year the Shenzhen Autism Society,  an NGO in the southern Chinese city, launched an attempt to make dental treatment less scary for some.
  The programme has helped about 45 autistic people aged between 4 and 40 to conquer their fears. Participants have been encouraged to engage in pleasurable distractions while waiting,  and to spend time getting comfortable in the dentist’s chair before procedures begin. With younger ones,  their parents’ mouths are sometimes examined first. One nervous father summoned up the courage to undergo a treatment that his son needed,  too. Watching this encouraged the autistic boy to allow the same to be done to him.
