Maria Martin AutisticHe has two children Autocratist He also dedicates his career life to this part, “They always ask you when you register for an autism course or congress: Are you a specialist who works with autistic people? Or are you a relative of autistic people? Well, because I have all three.”
Still clearly, his eldest son was the first to find because he was wordsless and Disorder… “I first felt. I saw it clearly from the very beginning, so this is not surprising. It is not difficult to consider it because it happens to many families.”
Finding the second cost is a little more, because he speaks, “When he was 2 years old, Kovit had a prisoner. He was not aware of the problems in the social area, but we were not well. There were more chances of being an autistic brother. In a change from the first platform from the child, I heard a private assessment and found it, ”Maria recalled.
Following this diagnosis, Maria was clear, and if her two children were autism, she also made an assessment He found his children to thank 36 years of thanks. Until then, he had to accept that everyone told him that he was rare and lived together from youth Anxiety. As they said, a ‘tough girl’ Because I had problems at school, I did not understand others at the social level … In fact, from adolescence, I was treated in mental health Chronic anxiety, panic crisis… But of course, my diagnosis is wrong. Thanks to the diagnosis, I had many answers, this is a way to forgive you from my youth and my childhood, ”he says.
Autism, the focus of its curiosity
As soon as they found their children, the autism became the best center of curiosity for Mary. So much so, he was able to turn it into his career, “I was teaching and teaching. I was a teacher … There I met children who already have autism; Disability… That’s why I saw him fast when my son got up. When I found him when I found him I started practicing in autismOne of my special interests became and got even the world’s research world … ”he says.
In the present, He is now working with the Autism Chairman of the University of SevilleIn the place where the autistic students who approach higher education are confirmed, “On the one hand, we work, we are sensitive to students in intermediate education, we teach teachers, so that they are the candidates of autistic people. Analysis … “.
In addition, at a family level, she cooperates with different organizations and is an autistic woman BakingPromotion and Support Group of Autistic Women.
Thanks for the diagnosis, I had many answers, which is a way of forgiving you from my youth and my childhood
Saac, your war horse
On the other hand, both family and professional are particularly confirmed to access Saac devices . There is a concept of limited autonomy. Because they do not speak, they cannot communicate, it is not so, but in many cases it is believed that they are not tools. “
SAACs based on Pigogram Programs have been for many years and they are a useful system, but they are communicators, electronic devices such as tablets with programs. However, as Maria complains, “In the case of motor disability, the health systems are funded, especially their eyes, but the touching access, such as those who are autonomous, are not taken more common.
In that fight, because Many people can’t buy them“At the regional level, there are some aid, but for Andalusia, they are very defined, usually not compensating the price of the device you need. In addition, it does not contain a spokesman, tablet or program, But you need to know how to use it, you need those treatments, speech therapists… In the end, this is an economic issue, ”he complains.
In classrooms, these systems are not completed, and after all, there are no resources, in casual centers and centers Special educationAs his eldest son goes, “A spokesman needs more attention. There are many teachers who want to use it, but do not provide, because they are in specific classrooms or especially, All children need a lot of supportIf you have five more involvement, imagine … catch crazy. I understand that this is complicated for teachers, but this is a supporter of a sugar cane, and it must be taken into account and used more. ”
If you deny communications, you refuse a right
According to Maria that does not violate it for a person who needs a communicator, The basic right to communicate with all people. Not only do these organizations say no to those who speak or are very low, but they will not use these devices, but they do not use it, because they do not use it, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so, because they should not do so. Do not function because they will not be done because they are not done.
It is absolutely wrong that autistic communication is not intended. There is a child who cries for communication purpose
In addition, they should begin to use, and when the need is found, “Whenever the child has problems, you should try to put a communication system because the child should be involved in something. The purpose of communication for this is not completely wrong. There is a child crying for communication purpose. It does not mean that their communication is not valid because the rest of the people believe in them. In fact, one of the things that appear first in autism KitchenThat is, instead of talking, he takes you to a place to take it, and that is communication, ”Maria explains.
As Maria insisted, ‘I am already exhausted. This child is not going to speak. I give him a spokesman’, but “A Contact access toolOther defects are like a WheelchairSome crutches … we need it to be like this, this is not seen. It is a right and not a luxury, and guaranteed. “
E -mail, Adding and Equal Opportunities
The problem of access to communicators is the model of all the sample of everything Adding and equality For those who Disability. Not everyone needs the same things“, He says.
In her house, she has a great example of her, because she or her children do not need the same support, “My eldest son needs a SAAC, a person with him to supervise him and stand up, because he has dangerous behaviors, escapism. The world is about the triggerAnd in a country like Spain, it will become very tired, so I need time to escape and alone. We must understand ourselves basically and let us look like us, ”he says.
Both people with high support requirements and less needed, Maria asks for it: Finance, especially investigating, but not only detecting the causes of autism, but also the causes of autism Improve the quality of life of autistic people“Depression, anxiety, or automotive behaviors are very high in autistic population.
Other areas such as education may not be worse, where “there is a teaching staff that requires a better exercise, which is very special, BT and Al have more hours Addiction You need real resources. “
As the mother of a child with the best support needs and less than another, she wants to claim Right to Employed Employment“Because the unemployment rate is very high in any case”; Accessible rest centers, “Because the autistic people with large support requirements are not, those who exist have to leave a two -month salary”; And as a community, That autism is not considered a different, strange or exceptional“Because sometimes it is invisible, but all the social fields are autistic. That’s why we need it UnderstandRegardless of the position of the support we need and the percentage of disability. ”
