I'm In Here - Eu estou aqui dentro! Helloooo!

Ha uma certa euforia no ar. It’s April.. Autism awareness day, the 2nd of April.
Mais e mais pessoas estao se engajando na luta para decifrar o AUTISMO.

Last April I got touched by “light it up blue song”. This time I came across “I’m here”. And it touched me more than ever as you will see on my description as follows:

Yesterday I saw one of my “blue boys” outside the office.

Since than. …as quite often, uneasy!  -  I am sure he is in there!

And that’s not the first time he gets me by the blues! ….  It’s amazing the way we communicate! It’s non verbal, but  goes through words… musical words…. I mean, words that come out of me on a theatrical manner….  Words that get him on a more interactive way…that get in through all senses! And he gets happy, he shows understanding and he gives me the right answer. We establish short interactions, full of satisfactions, even though short in duration.
Esse menino me deixa inquieta pois o percebo frustrado por querer comunicar-se sem o conseguir. Ha impedimentos reais …. he is overwhelmed by non inhibit sensory inputs…. this overflows the links in between the senses….. and the crash of it makes the frustration be the final result…for him…and for the ones surrounding him.

And he is one of my boys….

35 years of work, 35 years I don’t give up and persist asking therapists and parents to carry on believing there is someone inside that wants to find the door to come out….. The follow-up shows me I am on the right truck….  More and more kids are growing up showing me that I am on the right train, on the right truck….
