SOY JAIME

I AM JAIME

He doesn't look like anyone, nor does he want to look like anyone (I'm Jaime, he says, pointing to himself). People with autism, like everyone else, are unique, with their own personality, specific and different in each case.

But usually, invaded by the noise of information, by the rush and by the visibility to which we are exposed, we end up living obsessed with resembling those archetypal models that we have bought as an image of a good life and that, almost always, make us unhappy because we cannot achieve them.
The unique and the different, not the fake image or the imperative “I am like this,” enrich us personally and contribute to the whole of which we are a part and in which we must coexist.

He is clear about it (…nobody is like me, better than me, worse than me… I am like this and I like it… Jaime hums a song heard years ago on TV) and helps us to begin to understand it.
