My Daughter Is An Astronaut.

By Claudia Valdés

Don't give up This book was written with a lot of heart by a mother with the strength, determination, and dedication to investigate everything within her reach and beyond to improve her daughter's life. The work Claudia has done for Lucia is moving and exemplary. It has broken all diagnostics: some doctors said Lucia would never walk. Others that she wouldn't talk either. Yet she has been jumping all those barriers, like a rider on the back of a spirited steed, almost winged, and that winged steed is her mother, Claudia. All that Claudia has done - what she has lived, experienced, and learned on this long road - she has wanted to pour into these pages as a guide, an encouragement, a consolation for other mothers and fathers who have been overwhelmed by the arrival of an atypical child as if their world were falling apart. And Claudia, in this book, tells them that this is not the case. We want to share what that experienced and compassionate neurologist said to us that afternoon with all parents in the same situation. He told us, "It's up to Lucia, and only Lucia can show us what she will do in life." In a way, that's the message of this book. We don't know the limits; We only know from experience that true miracles can be worked with much work, passion, and hope. Life is a mystery, and the human brain is as big a mystery as life. The same specialists confess that, in some respects, they do not know everything. Atypical children, even if they seem limited, are capable of achievements that would seem impossible. Still, these can be changed with the hard therapeutic work, support, and understanding of a collaborative family that is always determined to turn difficulties into challenges. It's not an easy road, but nothing worthwhile in the world has been easy. Sometimes, you cry, sometimes you get frustrated, and sometimes the hill seems too steep, but there are also moments of immense joy. A joy so great that parents of neurotypical children will never be able to experience. They never saw it as difficult, distant, almost impossible. And then, when the goal is achieved, it is as happy as the accomplishment of a miracle. This is a book to tell many parents: don't give up, don't get tired, don't think it's impossible, and above all, remember that it's not for you. It's for your child. And you'll see how much it's worth. I have witnessed that miracle that Claudia, with enormous enthusiasm and tenacity, and of course, with the help of many people, has been achieving. And it keeps succeeding. Because the road is endless, and what Lucia will be, only Lucia will tell us. Enjoy this book and have faith! Alexis Valdés
