Hoy quiero hablarles acerca de un tema de suma importancia tanto para mi como para muchas familias alrededor del mundo, les hablaré acerca del Autismo.

A partir de hoy, 2 de abril y por todo el mes, las familias de personas con autismo comenzamos una campaña de concienciación acerca de esta condición, con el fin de informar desde la experiencia lo que para nosotros significa.

Quizas sepan o tengan conocimiento de algún amigo, familiar o vecino con algún familiar dentro del espectro Autista y que en cada caso el comportamiento sea diferente, es decir, que las actitudes de la personas con autismo que conoces difieren entre uno y otro, esto es porque así como cada uno de nosotros tenemos rasgos que nos diferencian, dentro del autismo también existen rasgos disímiles entre uno y otro individuo.

Dentro del Autismo podremos ver a un niño, que presente una personalidad inquieta, inatenta, con esterotipia (movimiento involuntario, coordinado, no propositivo, rítmico y que se realiza de una forma idéntica en cada repetición), balanceandose, en algunos casos hablando con alta voz o gritando en otros, con mutismo ; pero, también podrás encontrar niños cuya grado intelectual sea muy alto, con un vocabulario muy fluido, alguien con quien puedas conversar sobre un tema o varios y que no te des cuenta que tiene autismo, hasta que lo haces, y ésto va a depender del nivel de autismo en el cual haya sido diagnosticado y también si su autismo está relacionado con otro trastorno.

You may know or have knowledge of a friend, relative or neighbor with a relative within the Autism spectrum and that in each case the behavior is different, that is to say, that the attitudes of people with autism that you know differ from one to another, this is because just as each one of us have traits that differentiate us, within autism there are also dissimilar traits between one and another individual.

Within Autism we can see a child, who presents a restless personality, inattentive, with sterotipia (involuntary, coordinated, non-propositional, rhythmic movement that is performed in an identical way in each repetition), swaying, in some cases speaking loudly or shouting in others, with mutism ; But, you can also find children whose intellectual level is very high, with a very fluent vocabulary, someone with whom you can talk about a subject or several subjects and you do not realize that he has autism until you do it, and this will depend on the level of autism in which he has been diagnosed and also if his autism is related to another disorder.

For all of the above cases, all that is required is a large dose of empathy on our part. Many times when we see a child lying on the floor of the supermarket, screaming and crying, it is not a "tantrum or a spoiled gesture", it could be that the child is having a bad day and if that child, as a plus, also has mutism, it is even more serious because in addition to not knowing how to explain what he feels, he cannot express it and that is where the powder keg explodes.

There are countless bad situations in which many of our children are immersed because they do not know how to explain themselves or do not understand what is happening and many of us do not take a moment to try to understand and we only limit ourselves to criticize. There is a great distance between the thought and the word of a person with autism. Many times in trying to explain one thing they say something else and many of them also find it difficult to process the information, especially when it comes very fast and at the same time.

Todas ls personas con Autismo y sus familias siempre estarán agradecidos a quienes entiendan que todos somos iguales dentro de nuestras diferencias, que siendo empáticos sumamos, añadiéndole valor a nuestro ser y fortaleza a nuestro crecimento personal

💙Un Fuerte Abrazo Azul a todos. Que sigan teniendo un feliz y bendecido día!💙

People with autism, contrary to what is thought, are beings whose sensory sensitivity is very high; for this reason, when they hear noises that for us are normal, they feel the need to cover their ears or when eating they repudiate certain types of texture in some foods. They do not live in their world, they are part of ours. Do not push them away or denigrate them because of their condition because you could be despising an innocent, sincere, simple and loyal person.

All people with Autism and their families will always be grateful to those who understand that we are all equal within our differences, that being empathic adds value to our being and strength to our personal growth.

💙A Strong Blue Hug to all. May you continue to have a happy and blessed day 💙.
