Un abrazo de cielo a todos los miembros de esta comunidad.
Ellos son Ruth y David, sí, yo se que ustedes ya conocen a David, mi tesoro. Pero no conocen a Ruth.
Quien la ve así tan joven, desenfadada, muy sonriente, amistosa, cordial y muchos adjetivos positivos que la adornan, además del abrazo de un niño, que no besa, no abraza a todas las personas y logra socializar muy poco, no se imaginan que es la Doctora Ruth Elizabeth Guillard, Especialista en Psiquiatría Infantil y quien atiende a David.
Pero ella no es solo su especialista, es la amiga de David. La que ha entendido que el niño no soporta las consultas, ni las ropas de médico, que David se bloquea facilmente y que cambia de un estado de ánimo a otro en cuestiones de segundos. Como cualquier niño con TEA, y sin TEA también.
Quiero mostrarles dos imágenes de David con pocas horas de diferencia y los cambios de humor.
Son del día que justamente cumplía tres años. En esta que les mostré, regresábamos de la casa donde lo cuidaban para que yo pudiera trabajar.
Él estaba feliz, yo acababa de contarle, que como era su cumpleaños, iríamos a la casa, nos bañariamos, nos podríamos muy lindos y saldríamos a pasear.
Entonces se puso feliz y yo aproveché esa sonrisa linda y le tomé una foto.
Un rato más tarde ya estabamos paseando. Ese día en la ciudad habían actividades en toda la avenida central. También habían muchas formas de recreación.
Por supuesto se interesó por el tablero de ajedrez, pues él siente gran pasión por este deporte. Pero, como aún no conocía muchas reglas del ajedrez, no sabía que si sus piezas eran negras, yo debía comenzar la partida.
Él escogió las piezas negras porque le gustaban más, hasta ese día, después siempre ha preferido las blancas, porque le gusta iniciar el juego.
Pues como yo debía iniciar, David enseguida se puso a la defensiva, su cambio de humor fue tal, que no quería jugar, ya solo quería ir para la casa, sin embargo, logré calmarlo. En algunos minutos volvió la felicidad a su carita y logramos seguir su cumpleaños felices.
Les cuento esto, porque imagino que muchas personas que no tienen nuestras historias del día a día, no entienden por qué, una muchacha joven elige esta especialidad tan humana y de tanto amor.
Y yo pienso, que solo personas como ella, sensibles al arte (la imagen la tomé en una inauguración de artes plásticas), que ama sin condiciones su profesión, adora y cuida a los animales, aun no tiene 29 años y domina su profesión.
Pero además la desarrolla y cumple estrictamente con el protocolo y la ética que lo necesita.
Es por ello, que aunque ella no esté en esta comunidad, este es un sencillo ejemplo de cuanto amor se debe llevar en el corazón y hacer su trabajo porque lo ama y no por la economía que este le puede poner en sus bolsillos.
Por eso agradezco no solo a Ruth, sino a quienes aman el mundo azul que no todos entienden.
Otro abrazo de cielo.

ENGLISH VERSION
A big hug to all the members of this community.
This is Ruth and David. Yes, I know you already know David, my precious. But don't know Ruth.
Anyone who sees her so young, carefree, very smiley, friendly, cordial, and with so many positive adjectives that adorn her, in addition to the hug of a child who doesn't kiss, doesn't hug everyone, and manages to socialize very little, wouldn't imagine that she is Dr. Ruth Elizabeth Guillard, a specialist in child psychiatry and the one who treats David.
But she's not just his specialist; she's David's friend. The one who understood that the child can't stand doctor's appointments or doctor's clothes, that David freezes easily and changes from one mood to another in a matter of seconds. Like any child with ASD, and without ASD too.
I want to show you two images of David, just a few hours apart, and his mood swings.
They're from the day he turned three. In this one I showed you, we were returning from the daycare center so he could work.
He was happy. I had just told him that since it was his birthday, we would go home, take a bath, dress up, and go for a walk.
Then he became happy, and I took advantage of that cute smile and took a picture.
A little while later, we were already walking. That day, there were recreational activities all along the main avenue in the city. There were also many other forms of recreation.
Of course, he was interested in the chessboard, as he has a great passion for the sport. But, since he didn't yet know many of the rules of chess, he didn't know that if his pieces were black, I had to start the game.
He chose the black pieces because he liked them better, until that day. After that, he always preferred the white ones, because he likes to start the game.
Well, since I was supposed to start, David immediately became defensive. His mood swings were so strong that he didn't want to play, he just wanted to go home. However, I managed to calm him down. Within a few minutes, happiness returned to his little face, and we were able to continue his happy birthday.
I'm telling you this because I imagine many people who don't hear our daily stories don't understand why a young woman would choose this very human and loving specialty.
And I think that only people like her, sensitive to art (I took the photo at a fine arts opening), who unconditionally loves their profession, adores and cares for animals, aren't even 29 years old yet, and have mastered their craft.
But she also develops it and strictly complies with the protocol and ethics required.
That's why, even though she's not in this community, this is a simple example of how much love should be carried in one's heart and one should do one's work because one loves it, not because of the money it can put in one's pockets.
That's why I'm grateful not only to Ruth, but also to those who love the blue world that not everyone understands.
Another hug from heaven.
