La storia di Alejando, Alvaro e Jaime, tre gemelli diciottenni di Siviglia. Sono affetti da autismo e vivono in un mondo tutto loro nel quale ciascuno di loro ha una dote diversa.
Alejandro – l’ “artista” - è l’esperto di puzzle; Alvaro – l’ “inventore” – realizza piccolo oggetti che porta sempre con se’; Jaime, è il “portavoce” dei tre e ha una memoria prodigiosa.
Il reportage di Jose Antonio de Lamadrid, Menzione Speciale Shoot4Change al premio internazionale di fotografia REVELA (che premia sia i fotografi che le ong di cui raccontano le storie) intende raccontare positivamente l’autismo e le Associazioni che aiutano chi ne è affetto a recuperare una normale quotidianeità.
Vi innamorerete di questi tre ragazzi...

This is a nice story. One of those nice small local stories we seldom look at but that are hitting so many families around us.
It's about autism and three incredible boys. And it's about those who help the families with autistic kids.
I decided, together with my other Revela Award Jury members, to give this story a Shoot4Change Honorable Mentions as best positive local story. Read it, look at the images (click here), and learn more about the Project. It's worth it.
No need to explain, why. Antonio Amendola

Alejandro, Álvaro y Jaime tienen 18 años y son hermanos trillizos con autismo, un complejo desorden neurológico que afecta alrededor de 1 cada 166 niños en el mundo.
Los niños afectados por el trastorno del espectro autista pueden tener una amplia variedad de síntomas que incluyen problemas de comunicación y habilidades de socialización. Esto los convierte en seres incapaces de mantener relaciones sociales normales.
Sus padres Noelia y Jaime, nos cuentan que a partir de los 12 meses de edad empezaron a hacerse notables las diferencias con el resto de niños, no atendían a las llamadas y no señalaban cosas que les llaman la atención o les interesan, un avión en el cielo, un perro ladrando, un dulce que quieren comer.
A los tres años les hacen el diagnóstico de los descartes: no son sordos; no tienen problemas neurológicos ni genéticos. “Cuando no tienen ninguno de esos síntomas, tienen autismo”.
Álvaro que de pequeño sufrió una lesión cerebral acude a un centro especializado en autismo. Sus hermanos Alejandro y Jaime van al instituto a un aula especial, para conseguir mayor integración.
