Victor's Story. Victor is a 3 rd -grade boy living in Shenzhen, China. Due to his dyslexia, he struggled with academic learning at school. Since Victor was often teased at school, he was sensitive to negative feedback from others. One day, he had a meltdown since a caregiver marked an "X" (X stands for mistakes in Asia) on his wrong answer in his workbook. He cried and tore apart his workbook. Victor's mother then turned to Ming-Ling for help..

Victor's Story. To help Victor better express and regulate his emotions, Ming-Ling created the story of the Circle (○), Cross （ X), and Check (✓) , which aimed to change Victor’s perception of the “X” symbol. This inspired him on how each character, the circle, the cross, and the check, can have their own unique contributions, just like every individual has their own value and strengths..

After reading AITEC's Social-Emotional story " The Circle, Cross, and Check", Bang came out with his own definition to compare the three symbols. Taking one example, "A Cross symbolizes a mistake, or something that is incorrect or unequal. The symbol is formed by placing the two lines on top of each other. A cross is just a plus sign titled at 45 degrees.".

To Conclude Bang's Story. Bang’s story is inspiring for people working with neurodivergent children. His story shows us that, using an approach that truly taps into his strengths, his true potential is then able to flourish. We are able to see and appreciate his unique mind. On the contrary, if Bang is asked to keep up with the standard rigid expectations and traditional test formats, like handwriting, his true potential would not be seen..
