At first, due to his intellectual disability and autism, he didn't perceive it as much, he didn't understand it. But as he grew, he realized it, and this had a very big impact on his mental health,” explains Denisse, mother of Luis, 13 years old; of Izan, 12; and of Hugo, 6. This mother lives with the disability of two of her children: the eldest, Luis, who in addition to autism has a rare disease, and the youngest, who also has autism and ADHD. Knows well what it means to be left out of the social circle: no birthday parties, no cinema outings, no invitations to spend the afternoon. She suffers from it, and so does Luis, who is fully aware of it. “Having an illness or a disability doesn’t mean I can’t play. I want to play with friends, I want to have fun, I want to go to birthdays, I’m tired of not being invited, I have the same rights,” explained Luis himself in a video on his mother’s Instagram profile.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW9dpWfDdhK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ=="  rel="nofollow">explained Luis himself in a video on his mother’s Instagram profile</a>. </p>]]></description>
