My life with autism | Fabrizio Schahin Carita | TEDxJardins
-
0:05 - 0:07Good Morning!
-
0:09 - 0:12I'm 23 years old and I started working,
-
0:12 - 0:14as my mother has just said,
-
0:14 - 0:17after I finished high school.
-
0:18 - 0:20Which I really wanted.
-
0:20 - 0:23I wanted be like a normal person,
-
0:23 - 0:25who is not autistic.
-
0:25 - 0:29I don't like when people look at me weird
-
0:29 - 0:32only because I'm different.
-
0:32 - 0:38I wanted to introduce myself
like a normal person in society. -
0:39 - 0:43I like my two dogs,
-
0:44 - 0:48they are my best friends,
and the only ones. -
0:50 - 0:54When I'm nervous because of work,
-
0:54 - 0:58sometimes I get upset
with my bosses or my colleagues, -
0:58 - 1:02my two dogs calm me down.
-
1:03 - 1:07They are my buddies,
I can't live without them, -
1:08 - 1:10and both of them like me as well.
-
1:10 - 1:12(Laughter)
-
1:13 - 1:16I took a DJ course which I liked a lot,
-
1:16 - 1:20I was very interested,
-
1:20 - 1:25because when I went to parties
with my siblings, -
1:25 - 1:28I liked to watch the DJ work.
-
1:28 - 1:30I thought it was very interesting.
-
1:30 - 1:34I took this course and learned about it.
-
1:34 - 1:40Now I'm taking drama classes,
which I like a lot. -
1:41 - 1:47I love dancing and doing choreographies.
-
1:49 - 1:54In drama classes I have friends
who are unique too, -
1:54 - 1:58because I don't have friends out of there.
-
2:00 - 2:01I've taken other courses,
-
2:01 - 2:06like gardening
and administrative assistant. -
2:08 - 2:12I like traveling by plane very much,
-
2:14 - 2:18I like to take a bus and subway alone.
-
2:18 - 2:24After I learned, I like
to take the bus on my own. -
2:24 - 2:28For me, I don't mind at all
taking the bus. -
2:30 - 2:34When I learned to take the bus
I was very happy -
2:34 - 2:39to go around the city on my own,
without my mother. -
2:39 - 2:42(Laughter)
-
2:45 - 2:48My power of choice,
-
2:48 - 2:53I earn money and I can save it.
-
2:53 - 2:59My mother and brother
helped me to manage my money -
2:59 - 3:03and I can buy something, save it,
not spend so much. -
3:03 - 3:08If both of them hadn't taught me
not to spend money on anything -
3:08 - 3:11I wouldn't have any money.
-
3:12 - 3:17I'm very happy with what
I learned with them. -
3:19 - 3:24I'm thankful to the NGO
that helped me to enter the job market. -
3:24 - 3:27Without their help,
I wouldn't have found a job -
3:27 - 3:30and I'd be looking for one until today.
-
3:31 - 3:35I thank so much this NGO that helped me.
-
3:37 - 3:41I like my job because they treat me well,
-
3:41 - 3:43like a normal person,
-
3:43 - 3:46They don't treat me differently.
-
3:48 - 3:52Everything is equal,
because I don't like to be different. -
3:54 - 3:58I'm very happy working,
I can't stand not to work. -
3:58 - 4:02I don't see myself
without a job in the world. -
4:03 - 4:07I don't like to stay at home
doing nothing. -
4:08 - 4:10My life is only work!
-
4:10 - 4:12(Laughter)
-
4:15 - 4:20This is a photo of another lecture I did,
-
4:20 - 4:24my mother invited me to do it.
-
4:24 - 4:28I went to another NGO,
I enjoyed it so much -
4:28 - 4:34and people liked my lecture as well.
-
4:34 - 4:38I talked about my professional life,
-
4:39 - 4:43and what I thought about my job.
-
4:43 - 4:47Here is my drama team
who are my big friends, -
4:47 - 4:49and they like me too.
-
4:49 - 4:53As I've already said,
without them, I can't live. -
4:53 - 4:56They are awesome.
-
4:56 - 4:59They're very funny.
-
4:59 - 5:02I enjoy this group.
-
5:04 - 5:06This is my life!
-
5:06 - 5:08(Applause)
