Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace) novel Chapter 769

Matthew asked about Austin's current situation. Grace explained everything to Matthew, including Austin's experiences from when she was born, personality, and preferences.

Matthew nodded before saying, "Children with autism are usually more meticulous. It's precisely because they think so much that they can't walk out. When the child was diagnosed with leukemia, she was already showing signs of autism, right?"

Grace thought for a moment and said, "The day after the doctor suspected that she had leukemia, she stopped talking. Later, after the diagnosis, she became even more silent."

"At this time, parents' biggest taboo is to show negative emotions in front of the child. After the child's diagnosis, have you cried in front of the child?"

"Yes," said Grace. She had cried more than once, even.

Matthew said with a serious expression, "This situation will only increase the psychological burden on the child. You might have overlooked one thing. Although the child doesn't speak, she knows everything in her heart. When she sees you crying, she will only think that she caused you to be sad and will become more and more autistic."

Grace was suddenly enlightened. She suddenly remembered that not only did she cry in front of Austin, but she also quarreled with Brian many times in front of her.

"From what you've described, your daughter is an intelligent child. The smarter a child is, the richer her thoughts and the more delicate her emotions are. Coupled with her childhood experiences, she's more mature than other children her age. She'll feel that she should protect her mother," said Matthew.

Grace couldn't help but cry when she heard this.

She had never thought Austin had so many thoughts hidden in her heart.

Matthew continued, "The higher her expectations of herself are, the more she hates herself when adults are sad because of her. She might even hurt herself. That's probably why children become autistic."

Matthew's analysis was very reasonable. Every word hit the nail on the head. Grace hurriedly asked, "Then, Mr. Zander, what should we do in her situation?"

"Bring the child over for a face-to-face consultation tomorrow. Of course, in addition to psychological counseling, the child's family environment and the cooperation of her parents are also important."
