H.a.L.t
HALT:
I have received this advice before, and it is so wise.
H is for hungry. Eat a snack to satisfy your stomach.
A is for anger. Use breathing techniques like the Gamma, Square, or Sheetali to calm down. After calming down, find out the “why” behind your anger. Do I fear not being heard, or do I fear that I don’t belong here?
L is for lonely. Please seek a good and wise friend.
T is for tired. It is time for bed or just for a quick break.
He recibido este consejo antes, y es muy sabio. HESC=Detenete
H es de hambre, entonces come un refrigerio o tu comida.
E es de enojado. Para calmarte utiliza algunas técnicas de respiración como la Gamma, la cuadrada, o Sheetali. Después de calmarse, encuentre el por qué. Temo no ser escuchado, o temo que no pertenezco aquí.
S es de soledad. Por favor llama a un amigo bueno y sabio.
C es de cansado. Es hora de ir a la cama o simplemente para un breve descanso.

Alejandra Cruz
Soy Alejandra Cruz los últimos años trabaje en entidades bancarias y compañías afines, sentía que mi vida estaba realizada; hace 8 años llego a mi vida mi hijo Alejandro y mi vida cambio positivamente, cuando él cumplió tres años llego a nuestra vida, la palabra autismo y con ellas iniciamos un camino doloroso, difícil de comprender, con muchas dudas y temores de lo que podía esperarle a futuro y a nosotros. El paso de los años nos ayudó a soltar un poco los temores, a tener la mente abierta y ver que mi hijo finalmente a sus 7 años recibió el diagnostico de Síndrome de Asperger, despertó en mi corazón el deseo de brindar más información a las personas que como yo desconocen la condición.
Manu For Inclusion foundation llegó a mi vida como un canal de esperanza, para apoyar a las familias que como yo han vivido este diagnóstico con mucho desconocimiento y necesitan una luz en el camino para ser parte del cambio.
I am Alejandra Cruz. The last few years I have worked in banks and financial companies. At that time, I thought that my life was fulfilled, but 8 years ago my son Alejandro came into my life and my life changed positively. When he turned three years old, a new word, Autism, came into our lives, and with this diagnosis, we began a painful and very complex path. We found ourselves with many doubts and fears because we didn’t know what to expect in the future with this diagnosis. Over time, we released our fears and became open-minded. Finally, when my son was 7 years old, the doctors diagnosed him with Asperger’s Syndrome. At that moment, the diagnosis woke me up and created a desire in my heart to provide information and awareness to people who are unaware of this disorder.
Manu For Inclusion came into my life as a beacon of hope because Manu For Inclusion Foundation supports and empowers families like mine because we did not know much about this diagnosis. We needed the knowledge and hope along the way to be part of the change.

Williams Family
I had an excellent time working with Juana on life issues specifically surrounding with my son’s recent diagnosis. She was overly helpful and even offered to assist in other issues leading me to get tested and later diagnosed with adhd as an adult in my 40s. I was so grateful for that introspection and to finally feel like I have a way to not only relate to my son but myself as well which has helped me immensely in my personal relationships and work. Juana was amazing the entire time and was always very warm and inviting and so eager to help when trying to work through the issues I have been having with the process of my son being diagnosed with ADHD and the issues that come along with it subsequently. She is a gem and the assistance she provides is priceless! I am immensely satisfied with the work her foundation provided our family.

I take a lot from the toolbox. I keep going over it because it has many details that I sometimes don’t remember, and they are essential. I love how they divide everything, and analyzing each point is of vital importance.
I believe that all mothers in the world should benefit.
From the community, I’ll tell you that I have you, Elizabeth, and the girls from La Diversidad Une, plus a co-worker.
Thank you so much for everything!!!!!
Blessings and lots of light

Keeping hope
Being parents of neurodiverse children, on multiple occasions, we confront ourselves with situations that challenge our calm, our ability to resolve, and the sight of seeing hope for the best in what happens.
Being part of Manu for Inclusion for 3 years has given me the necessary tools to stop in a difficult situation and look for the best alternative. I find myself using the power of the pause to see clearly and look like any parent for the best for my child. However, I have come to understand that it is also valid to be sad, angry, and frustrated because we are more than parents, human beings, and where we make the difference is in the reaction to these emotions.
I want to share that we are a loving family sheltered by the M4IF.
I am also a woman, mother, and businesswoman, and I have made positive changes in my life day by day. I seek to be better for myself because if I am good in my heart, I can radiate what is in my heart to my family. Although life surprises me daily and challenges me, my faith and self-esteem are strengthened.
I invite you to open your heart, seek help when you feel that it is not possible alone, and maintain hope by living one day at a time.
