Ricard (7 years) to their peers and their parents gather signatures Hello. I Ricard. I am a child like any other child.
I like to feel many things: a mild odor, pleasant music, good food, a kiss, a hug.
But I have a lot of fear.
In dogs, loud noises, not knowing what is expected of me, so I do not know, to be alone, to break my routines.
Then I get very angry because I do not know what to do or how to react and I go within myself.
I calm down quickly with a kind word or a caress.
But this can happen to anyone.
depends a bit on others for which I teach, my guide and I care.
If you do not react as it should is because nobody has taught me to do so.
But I feel to others in their sorrows and joys and I hate to not be able to express my support and my reaction to help people.
not look into your eyes when I talk because I do not recognize the gestures of the communication or the express.
listen to all and as I have a good memory, learn very quickly.
But learning the feelings and everything I do is based on the reporting process, with long sentences and then I lose I feel uncomfortable.
I have problems with what I want and what I think and that brings me to ambiguous situations that make other people angry and I do not understand why.
I have great luck. At home I have my parents who love me. But
away from home I have many problems and I feel that others are afraid of me and I can refuse.
I know I act differently but I can not do otherwise and attempt to use what I learned. River at the wrong time or talk to others about things that do not care.
I asperger, and that means, I live in a constant mess with reality in the sense that I do not understand the codes of all people, that have since birth, inherited as an instinct, and must learn asperger.
I have many passions: trains, cars, music, astronomy, roller coasters, use the computer to build complex structures, playing piano, guitar and harmonica, watching documentaries on history, travel to Terra Mitica. And I say all this because I can not talk about something else. I have not been taught.
When I break the routine, I dislike. I do not like surprises or changes. I'm steady and I can go without eating or sleeping dedicated to what I like.
But I have many problems in school. I do not like. I'm bored and do not understand why I do write and paint by hand, with what it costs me when I can do much better on the computer so no one should get angry.
also very difficult for me to play football and do gymnastics and I just can not play with my friends because I do wrong and my body will not let me do better. But I
much to the people I have around me. I want to thank my colleagues for their help, I'll get to play and I'll get to like school. I have a lot of support them.
I love people who greet me and make me a touch but do not make eye contact. I will always remember and the every time you go to the street, look for a look. And every day, ask for them and miss them.
Thank you for being on my birthday, having brought their children and for having read.
also thanks for their parents. We do not have enough words.
