Story:
Will you remember me
?
My Name is Isabel I´m 19 Years old and will I tell you the story of my grandfather’s disease.
He lives in Ibiza, in Never never land house and we always visit him. He loves nature, that´s why he chose to live in this house.
A
few years ago my mother and me went to visit him during our holidays.
Everything was fine but than the symptoms appeared step by step.
First my Grandfather forgot the keys, but we thought it was normal
because that also happens to everybody. But then he began forgetting
lots of simple things as locking the door, closing the windows but
someday he started to forget to take off the hotplate. When he told
me his old stories which I had already heard a thousand times, he
forgot many parts and always broke up in the middle because he
couldn´t remember.
It was conspicuous.
My mum took him to the doctor who couldn´t see anything .
After a while we got a call: he had get lost in the city and couldn´t find the way home. After that happened we took him again to the doctor, Now he had an assumption: Alzheimer.
That changed everything. As he lived alone my mum has now to take care of him, she is always there to control everything. At the beggining, I didn´t see my mum very often and our family was splitted in two parts. When I visited him again he was in a very bad mood and isolated himself from us. He didn´t act normal like I had always known him. He always called for my grandmother and asked me where she was but she had died five years before. Everything happened so fast that the doctor said that he could take medicine but that only delays the illness. My mother was very stressed, therefore my whole family moved to his home. We had to change lot of things at the house because it was very dangerous for him. Now, he cannot live alone anymore. He needs his family and a safety home. Sometimes, he behaves normal but then like a foreign person. He is not himself anymore. He makes so many mistakes and always forgets everything very fast. We can´t stop the illness but we will be there and we will take care of him.

T2 - Trisomy21, Down Syndrome_Danny_Eva_Marta
Interview
After Carmela of the death was murdered, the house became in the
possession of a young boy, who just left the house of his parents to start a
life on his own. The boy just finished his master-degree in economics and found
a job at a small accounting firm at the centre of Granada.
His twin brother has down syndrome and lived at that moment still with
his parents back in Murcia. But at the age of 24 he started to feel the need to
leave his parents and life on it’s own. His parents had the feeling that it
still was a little to early for him to leave the home. In fact, for them it
would always be too early for him to leave home, they were so afraid... but the
idea of independence was persistent on his son's head. So his parents came up
with the idea for him to go live with his brother in Granada. If he could live
with his brother, his parents would feel a lot safer than if he’d live on his
own. Living with his brother for a while would be the perfect first step for
him to leave the house and become independent. So it didn’t took long before he
decided to go and live with his brother. As his brother worked all day, he
decided to start working as a volunteer at the petting zoo.
After living together happily for 2,5 years his brother got married and
decided to leave the house to go and live with his wife. He felt really bad for
his twin brother because this house was the only thing he had left. After
consultation with his wife, they decided to donate the house to his brother
with a usage and admistration cession for the Down People organisation in
Granada which his brother was part of. In this way his brother was able to keep
living in the apartment with overview from the organization. The only agreement
that was made was for the organization to be able to use several of his rooms
for group activities. The organization became so enthusiastic about the house
that they decided to buy the other three houses as well, as soon as the
possibility arrived.
So now the organization was the complete owner off the
whole building and housed multiple younger people with down-syndrome. At this
point the organization asked several younger architects to redesign the house
to make it as well “liveable” for the people living there but also useable for
the organization to use the space for organising activities for small groups up
to +/- 16 people.

Autism
Seeing the world from a different
angle
Introduction
Autism is a spectrum disorder often referred to as ASD (autism spectrum
disorder). This means that even though some traits or habits are the same, will
the autism affect each individual different than the other. Because of this are
some people with autism able to live relatively independent lives, while others
need a lifetime of specialist support.
Each child with an ASD will have their own pattern. Sometimes a child's
development is delayed from birth, while other times the child develops
normally until they suddenly lose for example social or language skills. Others
again will have a normal development until they have enough language to
demonstrate some thoughts and preoccupations. For some children can the lack of
language be the major symptom, while for others unusual behaviours can be the
dominant factor.
In general we can say that people with autism often experience over
sensitivity or under sensitivity to things others find normal. This can be
sounds, touches, tastes, smells, light or colours. People with autism have
described that the world to them is a mass of many people, places and events,
and they have trouble to make a sense of it all which can cause them anxiety. They
can also have trouble understanding and relating to other people, and to take
part in social activities either with friends, family or other people.
Types
As said earlier, autism is a spectrum disorder. According to the CDC (Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention's) the three main types of Autism spectrum
disorder are:
- Asperger's syndrome
- Pervasive developmental disorder
- and Autistic disorder
Symptoms
These are some symptoms of Autism at early age:
6 months - No big smiles or other joyful expressions.
9 months - No back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial
expressions.
12 months - No babbling, no back-and-forth gestures (for example
pointing, showing, reaching or waving).
16 months - No words being said.
24 months - No meaningful two-word phrases (this does not including
imitating or repeating)
Any age - any loss of speech, babbling or social skills.
People with autism often have three main areas of difficulty:
- difficulty with social communication
For example reading another person body language, or understand their
facial expressions or tone of voice. It can also be difficult for them to
understand jokes and sarcasm.
- difficulty with social interaction
·
For example can people with autism have trouble recognising and/or
understanding other people's emotions and feelings, and express their own. This
makes it difficult for them when socialising with other people. They might
appear insensitive because they are not able to recognise what someone else is
feeling, and therefore might prefer to spend time alone. They can also
sometimes behave inappropriately because it is not always easy for them to
express feelings, emotions or needs like other people would. This can make
finding friends hard for people with autism since some may want to make
friends, but are not able to express their thoughts.
- difficulty with social imagination
·
For example it can be hard for autistic people to interpret other
people's thoughts, feelings and actions, and to predict what could happen next.
They can struggle with understanding the concept of danger. And they can have
troubles with engage in imaginative play and activities.

T4 - Story. Childhood schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder often characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real. Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, auditory hallucinations, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and lack of motivation.
Genetics and early environment, as well as psychological and social processes, appear to be important contributory factors. Some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms. The mainstay of treatment is antipsychotic medication. Counseling, job training and social rehabilitation are also important in treatment. In more serious cases—where there is risk to self or others—involuntary hospitalization may be necessary.
Symptoms begin typically in young adulthood, and about 0.3–0.7% of people are affected during their lifetime.
The disorder is thought to mainly affect the ability to think, but it also usually contributes to chronic problems with behavior and emotion.
People with schizophrenia are likely to have additional conditions, including major depression and anxiety disorders, social problems, such as long-term unemployment, poverty, and homelessness are common. The average life expectancy is ten to twenty five years less than the average life expectancy.
