TODAY ... I QUIT TO BE ADULT!!!
I decided to accept the responsibility of having five years back.
I want to go eat tacos and think it's a 5 star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a pond and make rings throwing rocks into the water.
I like to think that candy is better than money, because you can eat. I want to have a break and paint with watercolors.
I want to leave my house comforta...bly without worrying about my hair looks like. I want to have someone fix me and I iron the clothes.
I want to go home to a home cooked meal and someone to cut my meat. I want to take long baths and sleep 10 hours every night.
I want to lie down in the shade of an old oak tree and playing with my brothers on a hot summer day.
I want to hug my daddy every day and wipe my tears on his shoulders.
I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, addition tables and fairy tales, and that did not bother me because I knew he did not know and did not care about not knowing, when all knew was to be happy.
I would think that the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to think that anything is possible.
Somewhere in my youth I matured and I learned too!
I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children ... I learned about the lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death.
I learned from a world they know how to kill and they do!!.
What happened to the time that everyone thought would live forever? Because not understand the concept of death, but when I lost my pet...
When I thought the worst thing that happened was that someone take away my ball playing or my wrist?
When not needed reading glasses.
I want to get away from the complexities of life and turn me back to the little things once again.
I want to return to the days when music was clean and healthy.
I remember when I was innocent and thought that everyone was happy because I was.
Walk again on the beach thinking only sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find without worrying about erosion and pollution.
I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike to the park, without worrying about being kidnapped.
Time I was not worried, debts, or where would you get the money to pay bills...
Just thought it would be when you grow up, without the worry of doing or not.
I want to live simple again!
There are days I want my computer to be inhibited, the mountain of papers on my desk, depressing news ...
There are days I want my medical bills or medications.
I do not want my days gossip, illness and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of the smile, the hug, the handshake, the sweet word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, imagination.
I want to believe in the human race and I want to draw dolls in the sand ... I want my five years back again ... If only for today!

MY HOMAGE FOR LAIKA, THE STREET DOGIE WHO TOUCHED THE STARS...
LET ME SHARE WITH YOU THE GREAT STORY OF A SMALL STREET DOGIE
THAT TOUCHED THE STARS...
MY HOMAGE FOR LAIKA, THE FIRST COSMONAUT DOGIE...
LAIKA
Dog / Astronaut
...
Born: c. 1954
Died: 7 November (?) 1957
Birthplace: Moscow Russia
Best known as: The first dog to orbit the Earth
Laika the dog was the first living being to orbit the Earth in space. She was aboard Sputnik II when it was launched by the Soviet Union on 3 November 1957. (Laika was a mutt, probably part husky, who had been picked up as a stray on the streets of Moscow.) Laika proved that animals could survive the rigors of space travel; monitors attached to the dog sent biological data which Soviet scientists used in planning later manned flights. (The first manned flight was made by cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961.) In a cruel twist, no provision was made for Laika's return to Earth; as planned, she died in space. Original reports were that Laika was put to sleep or died when life support batteries died after a week in orbit; more recent reports from Russia say that Laika died when the capsule overheated after four days or less in orbit.
Laika means "Barker" in Russian... Though Laika is generally given credit as the first animal to visit outer space, other animals (including American mice and the Soviet test dogs Albina and Tsyganka) had earlier been sent on brief suborbital trips into space...
The first dog to fly into orbit was a Soviet Russian dog called Laika. She was launched into orbit aboard Sputnik 2 on 3 November, 1957....
The decision to launch Laika into space was taken for two main reasons – scientific and political. The scientific reason was that little was known about how humans would cope in space, and observing animals in space would provide some rudimentary knowledge on this. The second, political reason, was that Khrushchev, leader of the Soviet Union at the time, wanted a ‘spectacular’ space mission to be launched on 7 November, 1957, to mark the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution that led to the formation of the Soviet Union.
Sadly, Laika also became the first animal to die in space – the scientists who planned her mission knew that there was no way to safely return her to earth. They had hoped to euthanize Laika after a few days in space, but recent evidence indicates that it is likely that she died after just a few hours of spaceflight, as the Sputnik 2 capsule in which she was a passenger overheated. Aware of global sensitivities, and not wishing to damage their scientific and PR coup, the official line from the Soviet Union remained for many years that she had been euthanized (although there were also conflicting reports from the Soviet Union that she had died peacefully after oxygen in the capsule had run out).
Laika received a great deal of training for her mission – not very much of which would be considered acceptable by society today. In order to prepare for a long period in cramped conditions, Laika, Albina and Mushka (the other two dogs she trained with) were forced to stay in smaller and smaller cages for long periods – up to 20 days at times – and were placed in centrifuges to simulate the effect of launch.
Laika was a calm dog who had been found as a stray near Moscow, and she accepted her training. When not training her, the scientists involved in the programme treated her well, and with sympathy, and she was known by a number of other nicknames – including Little Curly (Kudryavka), Little Lemon (Limonchik) and Little Bug (Zhuchka) . One of the scientists took her to his home briefly just before the mission launched, to play with his children. He later said: “I wanted to do something nice for her. She had so little time left to live.”

THE TRAIN OF LIFE
THE TRAIN OF LIFE....
Life is but a journey by train: Full of embarkation and disembarkation, with serious accidents, pleasant surprises in some shipments, and deep sadness in others...
At birth, we boarded the train and we met some people whom we will always be with us on this trip: Our parents...
Unfortunately the truth is otherwise. They will be lowered at a station orphans leaving their... love, friendship and company irreplaceable. However, this does not prevent them from getting other people who will be very special...
They our brothers, our friends and our wonderful love. Of the people who take this train, there will be those who do like a simple walk, others find only sadness in the journey, and there will be others circulating in the train, are always ready to help anyone in need...
Many going down, leaving a permanent longing, others pass so unnoticed that even we realize that vacated the seat...
It is curious to note that some passengers, who are so loved to us are accommodated in separate cars to ours. Therefore we are forced to ply separated from them. Of course, we are not prevented during the trip, let's hit our car troubles and get to them, but unfortunately we can no longer sit by his side as there will be another person occupying the seat...
No matter, the trip is made in this way, full of challenges, dreams, fantasies, expectations and goodbyes... But never returns....
Then, do this trip in the best way possible...
Try to relate well with all passengers, looking at each one, which are better.
Always remember that at some point of the journey, they may hesitate and probably will specify and understand that we too often Shall, and there will be someone who understands...
The great mystery, in the end, it will not know what season never go down, much less where you get off our companions, even the one sitting in the passenger seat...
I 'm wondering if when you get off the train, feel nostalgic. I think so... Separate from some friends that I did on the trip will be sore. Leaving my Family to follow by themselves, will be very sad!!!
But I cling to the hope that , at some point, get to the main station and will have the thrill of seeing them arrive with luggage that they had when they embarked . What will make me happy, will think that I worked with that luggage did grow and valuable...
Let's make that our stay on this train is quiet, it was worth it. Let us therefore, that when it comes time to disembark , our empty seat, let nostalgia and fond memories and much love to those who remain on the trip...

MY HOMAGE FOR JACOB BARNETT THE AUTISTIC GUY MORE BIG THAN ALBERT EINSTEIN
What Is Autism?
Autism is a complex neurobehavioral disorder that includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills and rigid, repetitive behaviors. The disorder covers a large spectrum of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment. It ranges in severity from a handicap that limits an otherwise normal life to a devastating disability that may require ...institutional care.
Children with autism have trouble communicating. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it very hard for them to express themselves either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.
A child with autism who is very sensitive may be greatly troubled -- sometimes even pained -- by sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem normal to others.
Children who are autistic may have repeated body movements such as rocking or hand flapping. They may have unusual responses to people, attachments to objects, resistance to change in their routines, or aggressive or self-injurious behavior. At times they may seem not to notice people, objects, or activities in their surroundings. Some children with autism may also develop seizures. And in some cases, those seizures may not occur until adolescence.
Many people with autism are cognitively impairted to some degree. In contrast to more typical cognitive impairment, which is characterized by relatively even skill development, people with autism show uneven skill development. They may have problems in certain areas, especially the ability to communicate and relate to others. But they may have unusually developed skills in other areas, such as drawing, creating music, solving math problems, or memorizing facts. For this reason, they may test higher -- perhaps even in the average or above-average range -- on nonverbal intelligence tests.
Autism typically appears during the first three years of life. Some children show signs from birth. Others seem to develop normally at first, only to slip suddenly into symptoms when they are 18 to 36 months old. Autism is four times more common in boys than in girls. It knows no racial, ethnic, or social boundaries. Family income, lifestyle, or educational levels do not affect a child's chance of being autistic
Autism is said to be increasing; however, it is not entirely clear whether the increase is related to changes in how it is diagnosed or is a true increase in the incidence of the disease.
Some of the different types of autism spectrum disorders include:
Autistic disorder. This is what most people think of when they hear the word "autism." It refers to problems with social interactions, communication, and imaginative play in children younger than 3 years.
Asperger's syndrome. These children don't have a problem with language -- in fact, they tend to score in the average or above-average range on intelligence tests. But they have the same social problems and limited scope of interests as children with autistic disorder.
Pervasive developmental disorder or PDD -- also known as atypical autism. This is a kind of catch-all category for children who have some autistic behaviors but who don't fit into other categories.
Rett syndrome. Known to occur mainly in girls, children with Rett syndrome start developing normally but begin to lose their communication and social skills. Beginning at the age of 1 to 4 years, repetitive hand movements replace purposeful use of the hands.
Childhood disintegrative disorder. These children develop normally for at least two years and then lose some or most of their communication and social skills. This is an extremely rare disorder and its existence as a separate condition is a matter of debate among many mental health professionals.
What Causes Autism?
Because autism runs in families, most researchers think that certain combinations of genes may predispose a child to autism. But there are risk factors that increase the chance of having a child with autism.
Advanced age of the mother or the father increases the chance of an autistic child.
When a pregnant woman is exposed to certain drugs or chemicals, her child is more likely to be autistic. These risk factors include the use of alcohol, maternal metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity, and the use of antiseizure drugs during pregnancy. In some cases, autism has been linked to untreated phenylketonuria (called PKU, an inborn metabolic disorder caused by the absence of an enzyme) and rubella (German measles).
Although sometimes cited as a cause of autism, there is no evidence that vaccinations cause autism.
Exactly why autism happens isn't clear. Research suggests that it may arise from abnormalities in parts of the brain that interpret sensory input and process language.
What Are the Symptoms of Autism?
A child with autism spectrum disorder may have problems in three different areas -- socializing, communicating, and behavior.
Each child with an autism spectrum disorder will have his or her own individual pattern of behavior: Sometimes, a child's development is delayed from birth; other children develop normally before suddenly losing social or language skills. In some children, a loss of language is the impairment; in others, unusual behaviors (like spending hours lining up toys) predominate.
Parents are usually the first to notice something is wrong. Unfortunately, there is often a significant delay in parents bringing their concerns to the doctor and in doctors referring a child to a specialist. Parents should trust their instincts if they feel their child is not developing normally.
Some red flags are:
No babbling by 9 months
No pointing or gestures by 12 months
Not responding to their name by 12 months of age
No single words by 16 months
Lack of pretend play by 18 months
No two-word phrases by 24 months
Any loss of language or social skills at any age
Other signs of autism to look for include:
Extreme difficulty in learning language
Inappropriate response to people: A child with autism may avoid eye contact, resist being picked up or cuddled, and seem to tune out the world.
Inability or reduced ability to play cooperatively with other children or to make friends
Inability to understand other people's feelings
Need for a rigid, highly structured routine -- and being very distressed by changes in routines
Extreme hyperactivity or unusual passivity, and extreme resistance to change
Aggressive, self-injurious behavior
Repetitive body movements, including pacing, hand flicking, twisting, spinning, rocking, or hitting oneself
Insensitivity to pain or lack of response to cold or heat
Impulsive behavior and no real fear of dangers
An unusual attachment to inanimate objects such as toys, strings, or spinning objects
Frequent crying and tantrums for no apparent reason
Peculiar speech patterns: A child with autism may use words without understanding their meanings.
Abnormal responses to sensations such as light, sound, and touch: At times, a child with autism may appear deaf or may be extremely distressed by everyday noises.
Some of these symptoms occur in children with other disabilities. Symptoms can change as the child grows older.
Call Your Doctor About Autism If:
Your infant or child resists cuddling and doesn't respond to his or her environment or to other people
By about the age of 1 year, your child is not pointing to objects, bringing items to you, or engaging in simple interactions such as "peek-a-boo"
By the age of 16 months, your child is not using any words or attempting to communicate
Your child bangs his or her head or demonstrates self-injurious behavior or aggression on a regular basis
Your child demonstrates unusually repetitive behavior, such as repeatedly opening and closing doors or turning a toy car upside down and repeatedly spinning its wheels...
How Is Autism Diagnosed?
Because there aren't specific medical tests for autism, it's best to get a diagnosis from a physician or psychologist who specializes in developmental disabilities and has experience diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).
The diagnosis of autism is made by taking into account the child's complete medical and behavioral history, lengthy observation of the child's behavior, and ruling out other problems that may cause some of the same symptoms. It is important to distinguish autism from other disorders, because a misdiagnosis may result in delayed, inappropriate, or ineffective treatment.
What Are the Treatments for Autism?
There is no known cure for autism, but it is treatable. Many people with autism become more responsive as they come to better understand the world. Some children's symptoms may improve significantly or resolve altogether. The goals of treatment include:
Stopping inappropriate behaviors so the child can relate better to others
Teaching the child to attend to purposeful activity; this can help the child succeed in educational settings.
Helping the child learn self-care skills
Providing opportunities for the child to socialize with others
Improving the child's communication skills
Teaching parents how to provide helpful educational and social experiences for their child
In most cases, treatment is provided in an individualized program that focuses on behavior modification and skills development. Treatment also may involve medication to help control specific symptoms. Usually, a team of specialists -- a psychologist, a special education teacher, a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a child development specialist, and trained aides -- is involved in treatment for an individual child.
In general, treatment programs tend to be more effective if they build on the child's unique interests, if they engage the child in highly structured activities according to a predictable schedule, and if they provide regular rewards for desired behavior. Also, the parents' involvement is very important to the educational and social development of autistic children.
The earlier treatment for autism begins, the better the child's chance of developing important skills. Early treatment can greatly help most children with autism. Treatment usually reduces symptoms of autism, regardless of the child's age or the severity of the condition.
There are many complementary and alternative therapies touted to help an autistic child. Because there is no cure for autism, many families turn away from traditional medicine. It is important that these therapies cause no harm. Discussing them with the child’s autism specialist is recommended.
In América only in México, U.S. and Canada the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees a free and appropriate public education for every child with a disability, including those with autism.
How Can I Prevent Autism?
Although the cause of autism is not known, many researchers believe
genetics is responsible for 90% of the risk of a child developing autism. Rare cases may be caused by chemical exposure and other agents that can cause birth defects.
To reduce the risk of having a child with an autistic disorder:
Do not take drugs during pregnancy unless your doctor approves; this is particularly true for some seizure medications.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages of any kind while you are pregnant.
If you've been diagnosed with PKU or celiac disease, get treatment.
Getting immunized against German measles (rubella) before pregnancy can prevent rubella-associated autism.

Pervasive developmental disorder or PDD -- also known as atypical autism. This is a kind of catch-all category for children who have some autistic behaviors but who don't fit into other categories.
Rett syndrome. Known to occur mainly in girls, children with Rett syndrome start developing normally but begin to lose their communication and social skills. Beginning at the age of 1 to 4 years, repetitive hand movements replace purposeful use of the hands.
Childhood disintegrative disorder. These children develop normally for at least two years and then lose some or most of their communication and social skills. This is an extremely rare disorder and its existence as a separate condition is a matter of debate among many mental health professionals.
What Causes Autism?
Because autism runs in families, most researchers think that certain combinations of genes may predispose a child to autism. But there are risk factors that increase the chance of having a child with autism.
Advanced age of the mother or the father increases the chance of an autistic child.
When a pregnant woman is exposed to certain drugs or chemicals, her child is more likely to be autistic. These risk factors include the use of alcohol, maternal metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity, and the use of antiseizure drugs during pregnancy. In some cases, autism has been linked to untreated phenylketonuria (called PKU, an inborn metabolic disorder caused by the absence of an enzyme) and rubella (German measles).
Although sometimes cited as a cause of autism, there is no evidence that vaccinations cause autism.
Exactly why autism happens isn't clear. Research suggests that it may arise from abnormalities in parts of the brain that interpret sensory input and process language.
What Are the Symptoms of Autism?
A child with autism spectrum disorder may have problems in three different areas -- socializing, communicating, and behavior.
Each child with an autism spectrum disorder will have his or her own individual pattern of behavior: Sometimes, a child's development is delayed from birth; other children develop normally before suddenly losing social or language skills. In some children, a loss of language is the impairment; in others, unusual behaviors (like spending hours lining up toys) predominate.
Parents are usually the first to notice something is wrong. Unfortunately, there is often a significant delay in parents bringing their concerns to the doctor and in doctors referring a child to a specialist. Parents should trust their instincts if they feel their child is not developing normally.
Some red flags are:
No babbling by 9 months
No pointing or gestures by 12 months
Not responding to their name by 12 months of age
No single words by 16 months
Lack of pretend play by 18 months
No two-word phrases by 24 months
Any loss of language or social skills at any age
Other signs of autism to look for include:
Extreme difficulty in learning language
Inappropriate response to people: A child with autism may avoid eye contact, resist being picked up or cuddled, and seem to tune out the world.
Inability or reduced ability to play cooperatively with other children or to make friends
Inability to understand other people's feelings
Need for a rigid, highly structured routine -- and being very distressed by changes in routines
Extreme hyperactivity or unusual passivity, and extreme resistance to change
Aggressive, self-injurious behavior
Repetitive body movements, including pacing, hand flicking, twisting, spinning, rocking, or hitting oneself
Insensitivity to pain or lack of response to cold or heat
Impulsive behavior and no real fear of dangers
An unusual attachment to inanimate objects such as toys, strings, or spinning objects
Frequent crying and tantrums for no apparent reason
Peculiar speech patterns: A child with autism may use words without understanding their meanings.
Abnormal responses to sensations such as light, sound, and touch: At times, a child with autism may appear deaf or may be extremely distressed by everyday noises.
Some of these symptoms occur in children with other disabilities. Symptoms can change as the child grows older.
Call Your Doctor About Autism If:
Your infant or child resists cuddling and doesn't respond to his or her environment or to other people
By about the age of 1 year, your child is not pointing to objects, bringing items to you, or engaging in simple interactions such as "peek-a-boo"
By the age of 16 months, your child is not using any words or attempting to communicate
Your child bangs his or her head or demonstrates self-injurious behavior or aggression on a regular basis
Your child demonstrates unusually repetitive behavior, such as repeatedly opening and closing doors or turning a toy car upside down and repeatedly spinning its wheels...
How Is Autism Diagnosed?
Because there aren't specific medical tests for autism, it's best to get a diagnosis from a physician or psychologist who specializes in developmental disabilities and has experience diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).
The diagnosis of autism is made by taking into account the child's complete medical and behavioral history, lengthy observation of the child's behavior, and ruling out other problems that may cause some of the same symptoms. It is important to distinguish autism from other disorders, because a misdiagnosis may result in delayed, inappropriate, or ineffective treatment.
What Are the Treatments for Autism?
There is no known cure for autism, but it is treatable. Many people with autism become more responsive as they come to better understand the world. Some children's symptoms may improve significantly or resolve altogether. The goals of treatment include:
Stopping inappropriate behaviors so the child can relate better to others
Teaching the child to attend to purposeful activity; this can help the child succeed in educational settings.
Helping the child learn self-care skills
Providing opportunities for the child to socialize with others
Improving the child's communication skills
Teaching parents how to provide helpful educational and social experiences for their child
In most cases, treatment is provided in an individualized program that focuses on behavior modification and skills development. Treatment also may involve medication to help control specific symptoms. Usually, a team of specialists -- a psychologist, a special education teacher, a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a child development specialist, and trained aides -- is involved in treatment for an individual child.
In general, treatment programs tend to be more effective if they build on the child's unique interests, if they engage the child in highly structured activities according to a predictable schedule, and if they provide regular rewards for desired behavior. Also, the parents' involvement is very important to the educational and social development of autistic children.
The earlier treatment for autism begins, the better the child's chance of developing important skills. Early treatment can greatly help most children with autism. Treatment usually reduces symptoms of autism, regardless of the child's age or the severity of the condition.
There are many complementary and alternative therapies touted to help an autistic child. Because there is no cure for autism, many families turn away from traditional medicine. It is important that these therapies cause no harm. Discussing them with the child’s autism specialist is recommended.
In América only in México, U.S. and Canada the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees a free and appropriate public education for every child with a disability, including those with autism.
How Can I Prevent Autism?
Although the cause of autism is not known, many researchers believe
genetics is responsible for 90% of the risk of a child developing autism. Rare cases may be caused by chemical exposure and other agents that can cause birth defects.
To reduce the risk of having a child with an autistic disorder:
Do not take drugs during pregnancy unless your doctor approves; this is particularly true for some seizure medications.
Do not drink alcoholic beverages of any kind while you are pregnant.
If you've been diagnosed with PKU or celiac disease, get treatment.
Getting immunized against German measles (rubella) before pregnancy can prevent rubella-associated autism.
