Some days ago Lola He published a post that many people liked, very useful, in which we could see a video that explained in the first person how a child with autism sees the world.
Today I want to bring you another that explains the same thing but in words, not from the mouth of an expert who sees children and people with autism spectrum disorder, but from that of a girl who has autism and can and can explain it in a fascinating way: the essential video of an autistic girl that explains the behaviors of people with autism.
His name is Amythest Schaber and he has a YouTube channel in which he is dedicated to explaining things related to his life and, consequently, with the autism spectrum disorder, in order to help understand the disorder, related behaviors, and ultimately to normalize it.
The video that we share today is just one of everyone who has published, which is the one I've met. It is shared by us on Mr. Pedro Sánchez V., who is the subtitle and who uploaded it to their Facebook page Sensory Network.
An essential video for everyone
It's only ten minutes, which for the usual Internet videos now seems like an eternity but for what could be a detailed explanation of autism is very little time. As well, in just ten minutes I have been able to understand many more things than in dozens of articles that talk about the autistic spectrumAnd what is better, I have been able to put myself in their skin and remind the children that I have seen them behave that way and understand them better.
So It is essential for everyone because it helps to understand autism and because it also helps to understand the difference and work a feeling that not only people with autism experience: how we strive to appear normal and how we pressure children, our children, to be behave as we expect them to behave.
Because yes, we do it, many parents do it because we do not want them to talk about our children, to think that they are like this or that way, and in a way, restricting their freedom (as long as they are not doing something horrible or disrespectful, it is understood), we are them deprived of being who they really are or want to be. And that, in a way, is to limit happiness, freedom and the way in which many people see, understand or feel life.
And from there arises a question that I ask myself and I drop: Is it worth doing so that they are as gray and mediocre as everything we consider normal?
Do not stop commenting on what you think of the video.
