An exceptional bond A mother’s love and perseverance were instrumental in developing a musical genius

Being sworn at in public and told to lock up her children at home instead of bringing them out are just some of the abuses Joyce Lim has had to contend with as the mother of two sons who have developmental impairment. Her second child Clifford Kang who is 23 years old has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and her youngest child Clarence Kang who is 20 years old is autistic and has ADHD as well. “Because my sons are
hyperactive, they are sometimes very loud and boisterous in public and people have scolded us because of that,” Lim says.

But playing the best game she can with the cards she is dealt with is what Joyce Lim has done with her life thus far. With three children – her eldest daughter Chermaine, now 26 years old and who is a music teacher and two sons, Clifford and Clarence, both who have developmental impairment would have crushed any young mother who has great hopes for her offspring. For Lim, the shock that came with the discovery that her youngest child, Clarence had autism, brought her world crashing down.

“I still remember that day when the doctor told us that Clarence had autism and ADHD,” Lim says her voice dropping to a whisper. “I couldn’t speak to anyone the whole day. I felt like it was the end of the world.” All the dreams and hopes she had for Clarence were crushed in an instant in the paediatrician’s clinic.

Compounding her heartbreak was the fact that pre-diagnose, she was under the impression that her youngest son was a true genius. “At 10 months old Clarence already knew the alphabet by heart,” Lim recalls. “At one year plus he was able to read English words and at 2 plus he could read the children’s encyclopaedia … I thought he was really exceptional and way ahead of the curve.”

And it wasn’t just the written word Clarence was capable of reading. He was also able to decipher musical notes and scores and he had a photographic memory. But then at around three years of age, Lim noticed a change in her youngest son’s behaviour. “He became with drawn and very quiet and isolated himself,” she recalls. “He seemed preoccupied and it appeared that a lot was on his mind. He started to mumble to himself and arrange his toys in a very straight order and kept staring into space for hours.”

All this brought the realisation to Lim that something was amiss. “This wasn’t like him as before he was very sociable and enjoyed playing with his siblings and other children. A visit to a hospital to undergo a multitude of tests confirmed Lim’s greatest fears. Clarence was diagnosed with not just autism but also ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). “At that time, I didn’t know what autism was and I was in denial,” Lim says. “I thought the doctor had made a mistake. My elder son was diagnosed with ADHD and I thought it was just another form of ADHD.”

But reality soon sunk in and Lim was quick to take action. “The specialist advised us to send Clarence to a school for special needs children. It wasn’t a school specially for autistic children as in those days there were none. it was just a school where physically and mentally
challenged children were all lumped together.”

And trying to get speech therapy for Clarence at the government hospital wasn’t exactly a walk in the park as the long waiting list just to get an appointment with a speech therapist meant that
essential treatment was delayed. “We had to wait for about two or three months just to get one therapy session. This really isn’t enough for any autistic child.”

And even though Lim and her husband Kang Kim Heng owned a music centre, their income level wasn’t enough to afford private health care and specialised treatment for clarence. “Apart from speech therapy, Clarence also needed to have behavioural therapy and the waiting list was very, very long in the government
hospitals. for poor and low-income families, this means their special needs children are given delayed treatment and time is of the essence as they are growing up fast.”

“my husband and I made so many personal sacrifices to get our son private treatment as time was precious and we just couldn’t wait for government assistance ... but not every parent is able to make those sacrifices,” says Lim.

Lim says early intensive intervention is essential for autistic children, and getting specialised treatment before six years old can vastly improve symptoms and conditions of the autistic child. bearing in mind back in 2001 the internet was just at its infancy, Lim had a mammoth task in researching and seeking help for Clarence’s special needs. “it’s much easier today to search for information but you still need funds to afford all those treatments,” Lim says ruefully.

Citing organisations like Permata Kurnia and The National Autism society of malaysia (Nasom) which were a great help, Lim says that these NGOs still charge for treatment which the poor might find hard to pay. “further, private institutions can charge up to rm5,000 a month for occupational therapy for autistic children.” Not exactly loose change for those in the low-income bracket. “We put Clarence in a normal school but after a year, i felt he was neglected so i changed schools. i had to constantly monitor his
progress.”

However, the irony is that parents with special needs children have to work extra
hard to pay for treatment for their children but because their children take up more of their time due to their condition, some find it hard to earn extra income. “This is a vicious cycle and i don’t really know the solution,” Lim says.

At 20 years old today, Clarence has come a long way from those confusing and chaotic early days. He’s won a slew of awards and has represented malaysia
at numerous competitions abroad. one of the highlights for clarence was performing with singer Yuna at the 9th Asian Para Games and he’s even given a talk in TEDx Petaling Street. He’s appeared on Tv shows internationally such as I Dream China by Zhejiang broadcasting Television and represented malaysia on Asia’s Got Talent 2015.

Clarence graduated with a london college of music diploma from the University of West london this year and he also released his first CD titled Hold My Hand where Lim wrote and sang the.title song and Clarence played the piano.

It is no surprise then that Lim feels proud of what clarence has achieved despite of all the setbacks he had encountered.

While running her music centre with her husband, Lim managed to cope with the extra burden of caring for Clarence and her two other children guided by her patience and love for them. “I couldn’t be selfish and had to accept who they are ... I had to sort out all the difficulties they faced and find ways to help them. Everybody is God’s child. i believe when God gave Clarence to me, it meant i had the ability to take care of him. it gave me encouragement. That I was the chosen one. I have a mission. No matter what difficulties I face, I could overcome them.”

It is evident that Lim hasn’t always had a smooth path when it came to experiences with her children. she has encountered more rejections than she cares to mention and has faced the brunt from members of the public who are less than sympathetic. Lim says that many young autistic adults are kept at home by their families because they are not accepted by society. “This is because they can get aggressive and scream and shout and the public might have a fear of them. That is
why awareness is very important.”

The one piece of advice she wishes to impart to other parents who have autistic
children is to train them with life coping skills so they are independent. “it is important to teach them basic living skills like personal hygiene, how to eat and drink and behave in public. Never give up on them and as a parent of a child with autism, you have to adjust your own emotions to accept them fully as they are.” she also says its vital for children with autism to make friends and socialise with other children, both those with autism and those without. “Clarence goes to a Youth church group which comprise other children and he joins in for activities like badminton, swimming and going to movies. This is wonderful because he feels accepted and this helps him open up and interact with them ... I’ve never seen him so happy as when he’s with other kids.” The gift which Lim says she found in her journey as the mother of three, two of whom are special needs children, is one which changed her for the better. “I learnt empathy and humility. As the principal of a music centre and a businesswoman, it was easy to take life for granted when business was good. if I didn’t have Clifford and Clarence I wouldn’t know what compassion is. By helping others, you are actually helping yourself because you gain so much.”

图上打叉的该是他不满意作品吧?

前几天整理书房, 无意中发现Clarence Kang ( Autistic Savant-Pianist )在五, 六岁时练习簿画的东西, 如今觉得好珍贵。患有自闭症的他, 当年不会说话却无时无刻在自学文字和画画。我时常来不急把他的画收藏起来就给他自己扔了, 好可惜!。到如今也都不知道他在想什么? 图上打叉的该是他不满意作品吧?

乐谱过目不忘 天才自闭儿赢全球喝彩 http://www.ilifepost.com/?p=37279

既过动又自闭


东方日报

生活 / 家庭 最后更新 2016年05月17日 19时56分 • 沈顺铭

既过动又自闭

自闭与过动,是现代愈加普遍的新生儿疾病,但是人们对于这些孩子,仍有许多的不瞭解,甚至不愿去面对。本地天才音乐家江政伟(Clarence)的背后,就有这么一位不屈不挠的妈妈,牵起孩子的手,勇往直前。

3个孩子,一个过动症,一个过动加自闭,体会过世间冷暖的林丽娟,以孩子的视野及感受写下一首《牵我的手(Hold My Hand)》,为自闭儿母亲鼓励、喝彩,也为让更多的人知道,这群孩子需要大家牵起他们的手,一步步走下去。

「这个社会对於自闭症、过动症的瞭解真的不多,所以让孩子们及父母们处在很受伤的处境。很多家长正面面对它们,带著孩子出门,孩子有时確实会情绪化、比较失控、做出不当的举动等,换来的往往就是周围人们的异样目光,甚至是怒目相视、指责父母。曾经我有一次带著孩子去吃饭,两个孩子说话就不自觉地提高了声量,结果有人在结帐离开餐馆前,特地经过我们身旁,提高音量的说了句:真吵闹!我请对方停下,然后问了对方知道自闭症及过动症吗?对方不理我,头也不回地走了。」她感慨,很多父母就因为这样,不敢让孩子接触社会、不敢把孩子带出门,甚至还有父母把孩子锁在家中,不愿面对孩子真实的一面。

30岁之前的林丽娟,觉得自己的人生是非常美满的,有一段美好的婚姻、事业有成、一个健全聪明的女儿。当时的她目標是生5个孩子,她实在太爱小孩。大儿子江政辉(Clifford)出生一年后,小儿子也跟著出世。在大儿子三四岁时,觉得他不对劲、不太说话、也无法专注、回应,於是她立即让医生诊断,才发现大儿子有过动症。

「我虽然很惶恐,但还是要很勇敢地去面对这件事,尤其是让他到特殊学校上课,训练他至少能够好好坐在班上上课。那时我也还没发现到小儿子的异样,因为他对我们来说就是个天才,1岁就能自己认识所有英文单字,还能念出来,对很多事物更能过目不忘,还很爱翻书,把各种书籍都翻了又翻。」她感慨说,当时把大儿子训练好,才能够好好坐在班上上课,就开始察觉到小儿子的状况。

无法医治消息如晴天霹雳

就在3岁多时,小儿子总是若有所思,总是要把很多东西都排整齐一条线,手指一直在比划些什么,也一直观察留意一些转动的东西。这让林丽娟觉得很不妥,在医生诊断时,才知道小儿子是过动加上自闭。她无奈表示,当时医生的话是很残忍的,说自闭是无法医治的,要她有心理准备。

「当时我跟丈夫是很错愕的,很长一段时间我们都无法说话,不只是心情跌落谷底,对未来也感到很茫然。曾经觉得一切的美好,真的没想到会立即变成这样。」她笑说,自己是个有点固执的人,经歷了自责、困扰、沮丧之后,虽然內心不断挣扎,但还是振作起来,该做的事情还是要做,她要用各种方式给孩子更好的未来。而且她在孩子身上,看到了很多的力量,能够带领孩子不断迈进。

路上奔波不忘互动

「那时候开始我的作息就是早上载小儿子去做特殊训练、然后在车上换了幼儿园的衣服、打包东西在车上餵儿子吃、换了衣服又去另一件学校再去上班。然后又要接另一个儿子,之后再接女儿,两个小时后又要接孩子去不同的训练班,大儿子跟小儿子又是不同的训练班,有时候塞车来回一趟都要3个小时。每天早出晚归,就好像一个流浪的人一样」她说,在车上塞车时也要努力跟孩子互动,用週遭的环境来吸引孩子的专注,像是要他看看天上的云朵,短期虽然看不见成效,但久而久之孩子就能做出相对的回应,让她觉得辛苦有了回报。

她回想起这么一步步把孩子抚养长大,这一切真的太不容易,並发现其实人类是生存能力超强的生物,即使经歷了那么坎坷的十几年,还是拼了命地熬了过来。更重要的就是要多去做研究,瞭解这些孩子需要些什么,能够让他们未来的发展有帮助,那么就去做,尽可能让孩子们多尝试看看。

两个孩子的来临,完全改变了林丽娟的生命,但她不屈不挠,勇敢牵起两个孩子的双手,努力向前。

坎坷教育路不放弃

学校是特殊儿童的一大关卡,因为多数学校都会拒绝他们,她说即使大儿子已经可以坐下来好好上课,但还是无法说服校方让他上课。甚至有些学校原本说可以接受孩子,结果却表示孩子的举动嚇到了其他同学、其他家长等,都是让这条路上非常坎坷的种种因素。

「其他人可能不会给这群孩子太多的机会,但父母一定要给。別人的孩子可能说个一两次,以后就会知道父母的意思,但这群孩子,可能要说上10年、20年甚至一辈子。有人问我难道不烦吗?我只能说这就是父母的责任。」

自小就有音乐天赋幼子13岁办演奏会

把大儿子安顿好了,林丽娟就要花费更多的心思照顾小儿子,因为自己是从事音乐事业的,发现小儿子2岁就有节奏感、4岁就会看谱,然后开始写谱,让她相当惊讶,於是决定在10岁时让他正式学习钢琴。

「小儿子很小就会弹钢琴了,因为过目不忘,他甚至不用看谱就能连弹上好几首歌,问题是他有很多跳脱钢琴家的作风,像是改变名作的曲调、节奏,添加许多个人风格大为变动。另外就是不照著钢琴逻辑弹奏,只用左右手共6根手指来弹奏。」她笑说,虽然外国音乐家有认同小儿子只要能把音乐美好的呈现出来那就足够,但她还是过不去自己那一关,希望儿子能够好好弹奏。

於是就在儿子10岁时,请学院的老师无论如何都要把儿子跟老师「关在」一起,老师弹到让孩子產生兴趣,想要去试试看,渐渐才走向正规的音乐之路。

她笑说这下去就不得了,学院的老师很快就都没办法教他了,於是他在13岁就举办了个人演奏会,场面非常热闹。

小儿子自小就很爱画画, 但每次都对作品要求很高,有时林丽娟觉得很不错的作品,都被儿子一手捏了扔掉。

透过导师传达讯息再辛苦也撑下去

小儿子的成长过程对林丽娟来说印象深刻,英文能力的掌握速度及音乐就算了,从小就很爱看地图,甚至每次出门,明明还很年幼,儿子却能指路,让她非常惊讶。另外小儿子也对学校巴士有极大的迷恋,每次都要指路带她到巴士行驶的路线,甚至在指定地点等待巴士出现。至今儿子究竟是怎么知道这些事情的,林丽娟其实仍旧搞不太懂。小儿子也非常喜爱画画,而且绘画风格、视野的出发角度非常强烈,常画出让人们惊嘆的构图、呈现能力。

「不过父母要跟孩子沟通还是非常困难的,他们太过倔强,父母亲的话都听不进去。所以我也在孩子的学习上请了一位导师,耐心地教导他们,更重要的是,我会把我想要传递给孩子的讯息,透过导师传达给孩子,间接让孩子瞭解到父母亲的用心。」她感慨,用这样的方式將讯息传递给孩子,也是一个不错的方法。

她最担心的,还是孩子未来究竟能不能照顾好自己?想想自己的孩子以及那些比较没办法受到较好对待的孩子,很多都还不敢面对外在。但对她来说,她坚持带孩子出门,即使吃再多的苦头,也要让孩子多多学习投入社会。

一家人在大女儿的毕业典礼上合照,林丽娟(左)对于这几年较没有照顾到女儿深感遗憾,但也对女儿的理解深感欣慰。

为疏忽女儿而感自责

此外,让孩子学习羽球、游泳等,虽然一开始一定会乱七八糟,但久而久之,也能够慢慢应付一些状况。她强调,这些孩子很需要多运动,让他们成长之后一定能看到成绩。让她最感慨的,其实还是因为自己都把重心放在两个儿子身上,对於女儿有些疏忽,这是她较为自责的部分。

「越早发现孩子是过动及自闭的父母,就能越早进行治疗,而那些不愿面对现实的家长,究竟是自己的面子重要呢?还是孩子的未来重要?」至於对孩子来说,平凡与天才,她希望孩子平凡就好,最重要能够健健康康照顾好自己才是。

无师自通 过目不忘 江政伟天才钢琴家

南洋商报 2 -12- 2017

无师自通 过目不忘
江政伟天才钢琴家

常听别人说上天是公平的,它夺走了你的一些才能,同时就会赋予你另外一些才干,这就恰如上帝为你关掉一扇门,就会为你开启另一扇窗的道理相仿。不难察觉,一些特殊的孩子,虽然在身心灵发展方面并不健全,但他们也许就拥有超乎凡人的天赋。

历史上像音乐家贝多芬、莫札特、童话作家安徒生、物理学家牛顿、爱因斯坦等都患有轻微自闭症。有鉴于此,坊间就盛传一种说法,绝大多数的政界、科学界和艺术界的伟人,都是因为有自闭症特征,才达致成功彼岸。
综合以上所述,天才自闭症钢琴家江政伟(Clarence Kang)就是个典型的例子。他虽然被医学专家确认患有自闭症和过动症,却在音乐和艺术方面展现过人的潜能。

他是个无师自通的钢琴奇才,儿时没有经过任何训练,仅靠着超强的记忆力,灵活的游走在黑白琴键上,弹奏出生命中动人的乐章,用音乐代替语言,与世界搭建沟通的桥梁。

江政伟出生于音乐世家。她的母亲林丽娟是一名著名的音乐家,毕生都在为传承音乐教育使命打拼,在这样耳濡目染的成长过程中,也造就他自小就对音乐有着敏锐的触觉。

2岁开始,他就对钢琴有了一种难以言喻的情愫。闲来无事的时候,他就喜欢靠着游走在黑白琴键上的灵活小指,弹奏出悦耳动听的琴声,虽然听不出那是什么旋律,但是,那美妙的钢琴声时而高亢、时而低沉、时而轻快、时而缓慢,缭绕耳际。音乐似乎是由远到近,由小到大,一阵轻柔婉转的“序曲”过后是无比强烈的颤音,充满节奏感。

不看乐谱六指弹奏
除此之外,他还拥有过目不忘的天赋,弹奏曲目时不看乐谱,就能一连弹奏几首歌曲。然而,他最令母亲感到棘手的问题就是,他时常都不照着钢琴逻辑,就只用左右手共6根手指弹奏。

虽然没有明文规定一定要用十指弹奏钢琴,但是,对于音乐家的林丽娟而言,她还是希望儿子能够遵循正确的方法,来好好弹奏。

手不释卷 画风强烈

在江政伟浑身上下,都散发着艺术细胞的气质。他对阅读、看乐谱及画画有着特别浓厚的兴趣。正当他开始要牙牙学语之时,他就懂得阅读一些简单的童书,从中学习生字。一直到了10个月大的时候,他就已经能够掌握26个英文字母,并熟悉一些简单的英文单字。再说,他对研究繁体中文字的热情,也不亚于他人。

他也非常喜欢画画,而且绘画风格、视野的出发点都有着强烈的风格,时常都会画出一些令人惊叹的构图,其呈现能力可见一斑。这个孩子喜欢画画,内心的一切变化都体现在画上,而且并没有人指导他。他的画能够很直观的体现出内心的现状。

那时候,他的家人根本就没有从他的日常举动中目测出他是自闭儿的端倪。试想想,当同龄的小朋友们都还处于襁褓阶段,才不过两三岁的他就已经捧着书籍,手不释卷地专研,这不就是一个天才的所为吗?

3岁证实患自闭症一切看似美好,可是江政伟的人生故事就在3岁那年发生晴天霹雳的变化。他变得十分沉默,不懂得与人沟通,甚至还若有所思,情绪也不能自控,而且常喜欢乱发脾气及独自一人喃喃自语。后来经过医生的诊断,才证实他是自闭症患者。

当时候,社会大众对自闭症并没有广泛的医学常识,认为那是一种不治之症。甚至,就连他的主治医师都不抱任何希望。所幸当时还有母亲相伴在侧,与他一起面对命运之神这无情的宣判。

改编旋律凭感觉演奏

虽然举动异于常人,但是他还是热衷于学习,尤其对于音乐上的强烈渴求。与一般人不同,他对钢琴有着独特的天赋。早在4岁时,他就对乐谱爱不释手,甚至还懂得改编一些经典的钢琴旋律,靠着自己的感觉及心情去演奏。但是,这样的改编,并不是一般人可以接受。

不擅沟通
拜师学艺过程困难重重

因为他对音乐与生俱来的潜能,林丽娟就在他10岁那年,安排他正式接受钢琴课程的训练。

由于自闭儿天生不擅于沟通的性格,再加上面对他所不喜欢的东西,他就会以嘶吼的方式来宣泄自己的不满,这也间接造成他在拜师学艺的过程困难重重,而且也不是所有的导师都能接受他这种种突如其来的举动。

后来,林丽娟就决定以“囚禁”的方式,将江政伟与钢琴老师“关”在同一个房间里,让师徒俩有更多的机会接触,渐渐地帮助他走向正规及标准的音乐启蒙。后来,他也接受著名音乐教授Dr.Nicholas Ong和郑泽相的正式训练。

13岁办演奏会

江政伟不太喜欢演奏儿童乐曲,反而更喜欢弹奏古典音乐,甚至还喜欢自创钢琴曲。有时候,他还会在乐谱上填写音符,也能把一首沉闷的曲子,改编成精彩的音乐。

林丽娟就是江政伟在钢琴学习中的伯乐。她的心愿就是希望儿子能够成为一名专业的音乐演奏家,以音乐为事业,自立生活。他更在13岁那年,成为亚洲首位筹办演奏会的自闭儿。

会上,江政伟一连为在场观众带来12首贝多芬及萧邦的钢琴名曲。此外,曲目当中也不乏流行音乐。

时隔数年,江政伟于去年12月4日再度举办个人独奏会。演奏会上,由他弹奏及母亲演唱的歌曲《握着我的手》(Hold My Hand),更掀起独奏会的高潮,场面温馨感人,以致现场的观众都报以热烈的掌声。这首歌曲是由林丽娟亲自创作,写的是她无怨无悔对儿子的付出及自闭儿童的内心世界。

在整场演奏会他都没看乐谱演奏,凭着超强的记忆力,将一首又一首动听的歌曲演绎出来。

惊人天赋受国际认可

一个钢琴键盘,彻底改变江政伟身为一名自闭儿不顺遂的困境,奇迹也接二连三的发生。江政伟惊人的天赋,受到国际市场的认可,并于2012年受邀于新加坡儿童援助慈善基金会上演奏、2013年出席韩国平昌第一届全球特殊音乐与艺术节演奏,之后更于2014年及2015年在香港安安国际自闭症教育基金会举办的国际星儿才艺展魅力总决赛中斩获两项大奖,更被列入香港星儿才艺名人榜中。

除此,在2015年4月份,江政伟更代表马来西亚到知名选秀节目Asia Got Talent比赛才艺,之后更进入半决赛。

列自闭天才名人榜

他的表现受评审一致认同,更将其演出列入最触动人心的节目片段。参与节目之后,江政伟于2016年在加拿大的INAP Award青年表演艺术组获冠。

之后,在2017年的马来西亚东南亚运动会上,他更受邀在开幕礼上弹奏钢琴,与知名艺人Yuna同台演出。

在过去10月圆满落幕的TEDx茨厂街年会上,江政伟也受邀成为其中一位分享与表演嘉宾。同年,他更被美国列入世界自闭天才的名人榜内。

江政伟弹钢琴并不是为了炫技,他只是用全然自在的方式来表达他所认识的音乐世界。这就是一个自闭儿的心声。

爱和信念创造奇迹

诚如林丽娟所言,尽管未来的路仍然不好走,但她相信江政伟因为有音乐而更热爱生命。

“只要有爱和信念,就可以创造奇迹。”这句话听起来似乎很抽象,但母子俩这一路走来,确实携手创造出许多的奇迹。

一位母亲用她永不放弃的爱心、智慧与勇气,坚毅地陪儿子走出一条不可思议的路来,让原本的无望转换成无限的可能。

她说:“事实上,拥有自闭儿并不是‘倒楣’或‘诅咒’,细细品味我们因为有这孩子而经历的特别人生,竟是一种天赐的福分,上帝诚然有他的旨意。”

My boy who love school buses..

A boy who love Sch Bus..

从5岁开始,小江就能够画出所有类型的车辆,并能够知道汽车品牌和型号。但是他最喜欢的还是校车(-Bus Sekolah)!
天哪!那些日子,他会要求我带他去找巴士,并下拍视频和照片。我们已经搜索了60多辆,70多辆?甚至接近100辆巴士在吉隆坡,我也记不起了。
奇怪的是,他为什么知道巴士地址?车号?那里的路线?他会在搜寻前先是告诉我巴士的号码,而且我会按照他告诉我的方向去寻找......(他是怎么知道的?)
他真的给了我很多的Surprise....
他也会在他找到的巴士上拍3下, 这又是为什么?
他在9岁时, 骑自行车失纵了2小时, 其中一个原因也是去找校车了。
