I AM NOT SICK
Autism is it not a disease, it is a condition of life that affects social interaction through communication.
I AM NOT LIVING IN MY WORLD
I do not take refuge in myself, it is difficult to me to socialize with people, but also, I am able to recognize when exists
empathy and when there is not
I GUIDE MYSELFT VIAUALLY
People with autism are visual thinkers, It means, we process information visually and we learn the better by graphic materials.
I LIKE ROUTINES AND DO NOT LIKE WHEN IT CHANGES
I really do not like surprises, when surprise happens I can feel bad. Most of the time I am judged by people for my behavior.
I ENJOY SORTING OUT THINGS BY THEIR COLOR, SHAPE OR SIZE
I can have restricted and obsessive-compulsive interests, but also extraordinary abilities.
I AM A CONCRETE THINKER
I understand things just how they are in a literary way. And I get confused understanding double meaning things.
As part of my work I have had the arduous task of getting into this wonderful world of autism, where I have not only learned the importance of respecting and understanding the other no matter what their life condition is, but I have also felt identified, because in the end we are all the same.
I share a picture with my 2 favorite patients Diego y Gabriel.
Great share Jesusbebo. My cousin who is now 21 has Autism along with a few other complications. It seems the medicine they have him on has made it worse then what would be if he were not on it, but i'm not a doctor and cannot tell. It's been a struggle to see him go through what he has and I'm just glad to have read your post and to completely understand it knowing thats how I communicate with him. Peace and Blessings to you and yours!
I'm glad it helped you. I'm a occupational therapist and daily I deal different cases. in the few time I have doing what I do, I learned that sometimes it is not how they behave, it is what are we willing to do to undestand that behavior and take all the good thing about it to help othres in the same condition.
