Following is the text of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s message on World Autism Awareness Day, to be observed on 2 April:
By designating 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day, the United Nations General Assembly has helped to galvanize international efforts to promote greater understanding about autism. This year’s observance is being marked with lectures, briefings, screenings, musical performances, video conferences, art installations and other activities carried out by the United Nations family and a full constellation of partners.
I welcome this growing international chorus of voices calling for action to enable children and persons with autism to lead full and meaningful lives. This is not a far-off dream; it is a reality that can be attained by promoting positive perceptions about autism, as well as a greater social understanding of this growing challenge.
I have seen what caring people who work tirelessly for this goal can achieve. Last year, the United Nations hosted a rock concert by Rudely Interrupted, whose members have various disabilities, including on the autism spectrum. They brought the audience to its feet with warm, communicative songs and showed, through the sheer joy of their performance, how much people with disabilities can offer the world.
The words of lead singer Rory Burnside were especially inspiring. “My advice”, he said, “to kids who have some form of disability is: don’t let it stop you. Use it as your strength; don’t use it as your weakness. One red light can lead to a whole bunch of green lights, with a few orange lights thrown in. And the red lights are just a bit of a test. There are definitely more green and orange.”
On World Autism Awareness Day, let us capture and share this spirit, and let us intensify global efforts to ensure that children and persons with autism everywhere can benefit from the supportive environment they need to reach their full potential and contribute to society.

这段关于红灯绿灯黄灯的比喻，没看懂。哪位看明白了，给解释一下？作者: Charlie Z. Song 时间: 09-3-31 03:34 标题: 一个红灯可以引来一连串jhdenglu 作者: Charlie Z. Song 时间: 09-3-31 03:39 标题: 一个红灯可以引来一连串LUU灯，伴随着几个橙色灯。 这里红灯是一个考验，在它后面是更多的LUU灯和橙色灯作者: 忠于我心 时间: 09-3-31 17:59
要说到红灯，我总觉得应该是碰到一个红灯后面就好多红灯，呵呵
不过根据文章的意思，是不是可以理解为上帝为你关上一扇门，必然会为你打开一扇窗。作者: woodmqf 时间: 09-3-31 19:17
看见自闭症的红灯，不要遗忘自闭症为你敞开的一串绿灯和黄灯。红灯只是你人生的试金石，未来绝对有无数的绿灯。作者: blackeye 时间: 09-3-31 20:57
