　　孤独症男孩在作业里写自己没朋友，令人心痛！

　　A devoted¹ father who took a photo of his son's class assignment later noticed the boy, who has autism, had written that he had no friends.

　　一位用心的父亲给儿子学校作业拍照后发现，他患孤独症的儿子在上面写着自己没朋友。

　　Bob Cornelius shared a photo of the work to Facebook in an effort to start a conversation about children with autism and why children should have more empathy for those with special needs.

　　Bob Cornelius在Facebook上分享了这张照片，想要引起人们主动跟孤独症儿童交流，也呼吁其他孩子对有生理和心理缺陷的同龄人多多关心。

　　In the school project, children were asked to describe a few facts about themselves, including their age, grade, favorite food and television show.

　　这项学校作业中，老师要孩子们描述关于他们自己的一些事情，包括年龄、年级、最爱的食物和电视节目。

　　Cornelius took a few photos of his son's classwork and quickly sat in his seat without noticing the details of the project, but once he returned to his New Jersey² home, he enlarged the photo on his cell phone and took a quick look at what 11-year-old, Christopher, had written.

　　Cornelius当时并没有仔细看儿子的作业，只是拍了几张照片，随后就开车回去了。但当他回到新泽西家中，用手机放大这些照片看的时候，很快注意到11岁的Christopher写了这样的字句。

　　The assignment had also asked the students to name some of his or her friends. Christopher wrote: "No one."

　　这项作业中还要求学生写自己朋友的名字。Christopher写着：“没朋友”。

　　"I couldn't sleep when I saw it," Cornelius told InsideEdition.com on Friday. "I was up all night."

　　“看完之后，我难以入眠，”Cornelius在周五告诉InsideEdition网站。“一夜都没睡着。”

　　Cornelius'heartbreak prompted him to post on Facebook.

　　Cornelius特别伤心，这也提醒了他去把照片发到Facebook上。

　　"Christopher has autism and although he is verbal³, he is very surface-oriented," he said. "It's tough to speak with him when it comes to emotion but this was his way of communicating that he's lonely."

　　“Christopher有孤独症，虽然他能认字，但却很不情愿跟外界交流。他有情绪时，跟他更难沟通。但这正是他表明自己孤独的方式。”Cornelius坦言。

　　The photo of Christopher's project went viral and Cornelius soon received positive messages and feedback from social media users.

　　Christopher的作业照片很快传遍了网络，他爸爸很快也收到来自社交媒体网友正能量的回复和反馈。

　　Along with messages of hope, Cornelius also received an encouraging response from two hosts on a local talk radio show that helped him spread awareness⁴ about children living with autism.

　　这些回复中，也有来自当地两位脱口秀主持人鼓舞人心的消息。他们还帮他在网上传播关爱孤独症患儿的正能量。

　　"The KMBZ radio hosts, Dana Wright and Scott Parks, came up with the idea for people to send him letters," Cornelius said. "He doesn't know what's going on at the moment, but as of now we have about six packages waiting just for Christopher."

　　“KMBZ电台主持人Dana Wright 和Scott Parks想到让人们给Christopher写信，”Cornelius说。“Christopher并不知道怎么回事，但现在已经有六大包信件等待他读了。”

　　Cornelius also referenced⁵ a Florida State football player who was pictured sitting with a child with autism after seeing him alone.
