[Esp/Eng]Iniciativa: El Día Mundial de Concienciación sobre el Autismo. Madres azules / Initiative: World Autism Awareness Day. Blue Mothers

Hello beautiful #Maternity community! What a pleasure it causes me to be able to greet you again, this time it is to be able to participate in the World Autism Awareness Day initiative, today I want to tell you about the blue moms, those spectacular women who support their children diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

My friend Oly, one of my sisters in life, has only one son, whom I also call my son, because as my great aunts used to say, if you breastfed him, he is your milk son, and my beautiful Edgar is asperger, which is a syndrome that is included in the autistic spectrum.

Since he was very young my child had different ways of moving and expressing himself, that is why my sister took him to consult with his pediatrician and he referred him to a neurologist and that is when my child was diagnosed.
I tell you that my twin sons have an age difference with Edgar of 2 months and they consider him their brother, the way they treat each other is fabulous, as they have always seen each other, they hug and show affection, which is something very rare, but it is normal between them.

Sometimes my child speaks in a very loud tone and with a flowery vocabulary, with words that are very out of the ordinary and far-fetched, for me, it is exciting when he speaks, because he uses a very select lexicon and you hear some things... because he is super smart, although my child does not understand jokes, or phrases with double meanings, while the rest of us are laughing at the joke, he makes a face like a punch line, he only understands what the word literally means. As for body language he doesn't understand it very well, one makes him signs to shut his mouth, not to say what we know he is going to say and he simply doesn't pay attention to us, it is difficult for him to be aware of the feelings of others and sometimes he is reckless, but as those of us who know him love him and understand him, we don't give much importance to his insensitivity.

For school, my child counts on his mother, who is a great teacher and has learned to give classes and prepare the material for Edgar to defend himself in school, they make spectacular presentations, he has a very good average in his grades.

Because I dedicate my publication to the blue mothers ... because just as my sister in life has known how to face all the obstacles that have been presented to her, from the economic part to take care of him, with her medical team from the pediatrician, the neurologist, the speech therapist, the psychopedagogue, the psychologist ... it is not unknown to anyone that a salary is not enough for so much, and less for a single mother, so she has overcome adversity in a brilliant way.
This is how I see the case of several friends, Rocio and Manuela, also with their children diagnosed with Autism and they fight daily to give them autonomy in their lives, and there are others without diagnosis because their parents do not accept it.
It is necessary to have strength, physical and mental, to fight to structure these precious children and give them wonderful expectations of managing to develop perfectly in the future.

Today is a very special day if we find a blue mother, let's give her lots of love and affection, because that is a treasure chest that takes care of a treasure, thank you very much for visiting my publication and it is always a pleasure to read your comments and suggestions, thank you very much!
