Daniela Marinova - a Bulgarian woman living in Spain, wrote a song for her son, who has autism, on the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day - April 2nd and shared it in a YouTube video.
The song, which is called "This is me" /Así soy yo/, tells about her son’s life and is also dedicated to his sister. Marinova told BNR that she wrote the song for her son's classmates "because informed children normalize differences". However, teachers also liked it and started playing it to their students. The mother has been fighting the mass perception of autism as an illness and urge people to accept autistic people for who they are and not try to change them according to their own understanding of normality.
