Come and I'll tell you what it's like to live with my Autistic brother

The strength of my brother and my mother.

Raúl is an autistic child, suffering from severe autism diagnosed since birth. His main characteristics of his personality is He is cheerful, he likes to make all kinds of jokes and woe to you if you stumble in front of him, he laughs all day remembering your fall We live in a house where several families live, and many pets: 1 dog, a talking parrot and two cats, he interacts with them daily and entertains himself, apart from his playstation 2, which he treasures like nothing else. He is very attached to my mother and completely dependent, so it is up to me to take money home since unfortunately Dad died two months ago as I write this. It's the hardest part: I was also very attached to my father. so when he wakes up and doesn't see him, he asks for him every day. Mom cries secretly from him because she knows how to differentiate emotions and react the same. She is a formidable warrior.

I am a 34-year-old graphic designer, my brother is 24, my mother is 56, who also has frequent seizures. Currently my brother attends a school for "Special Children" and that gives the 3 of us some peace to release a little The mind of so many worries. Living in Venezuela is not easy... The daily care you need is divided into 3 parts: In the morning, he is the first to wake up (5am) and wakes up mom to brush his teeth He eventually dresses himself and proceeds to go to the bathroom (not always in that order) and is often annoyed if the bathroom is occupied. Later mom prepares his food and I walk him to school. He usually walks very fast sometimes I almost have to run to reach it. (He is very excited to go to school)

Por las tardes cuando llega, ya tiene su almuerzo esperando por mamá, se cambia de ropa y procede a comer, eso si, tiene que

estar tibia la comida sino, no come para nada

Por las noches suele recojer todo y dejarlo tla cual en donde van las cosas: Las sillas a su sitio, Los cubiertos (si hay alguno

regado) Dejarlo en donde corresponde. Es muy ordenado

Felízmente no es un caso de autismo violento, por el contrario es demasiado cariño y se emociona si lo tratas bien

Si tu sonries con el, el te devuelve la sonrisa...
