‘Every day life can be a challenge for Fraser because ordinary tasks can be extremely difficult for him,’ added Mrs Booth, who lives on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire. ‘He is not trapped in his own little world – as most people assume with people with autism – he is a happy little boy, but he can become frustrated or upset easily at the drop of a switch.
“对于弗雷哲来说，每一天都是挑战，因为普通的事情对他来说都极其的艰难，” 布施女士补充道。他们现在居住在阿伯丁的拜尔马洛庄园。“他不像大部分人想象中的自闭症小孩那样生活在自己的世界当中—他是个快乐的小男孩，只是容易因为一点点的小事沮丧、发怒。”
But the arrival of Billy from a Cats Protection shelter 12 months ago has changed Fraser’s behaviour.
但是12月前从猫咪收容所来的比利却改变了弗雷哲的行为。
‘The first time we took Fraser to see Billy, the cat went straight to him,’ Mrs Booth added. ‘Fraser sat down on the floor and Billy laid across him with his paws on his legs and just started purring. Fraser said “This is our cat, he can come live with us,” and that was that.’
“第一次带弗雷哲去看比利的时候，这只猫就直接扑向了弗雷哲。弗雷哲坐在地板上的手，比利就一边横躺在他身上，爪子放在他腿上，一边还喵喵叫。弗雷哲说：这是我们的猫，他可以和我们住一起。”布施女士说到。事情就是这样子的。
‘Billy has made a complete difference to our family life, he’s taken away the stress, he’s added happiness and an air of calm, he’s just been amazing.
“比利给我们家带来了翻天覆地的变化。他为我们带走了压力，带来了快乐与平静。他太了不起了！”
