ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืื– ืื™ื ื˜ืจื ื˜ ื›ืžื• ื”ื™ื•ื,

ืœื ื™ื›ื•ืœื ื• ืœื—ืคืฉ ืžื™ื“ืข ื‘ื’ื•ื’ืœ,

2090
ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ ืœื ื™ืฆืจ ืงืฉืจ ืขื™ืŸ,
01:12
he had lost the words that he did know,

ื”ืคืกื™ืง ืœื“ื‘ืจ ื‘ืžื™ืœื™ื ืฉื›ื‘ืจ ืœืžื“,
01:16
and he didn't respond to his name or to anything we asked him,

ืื• ืœื›ืœ ื“ื‘ืจ ืฉื‘ื™ืงืฉื ื• ืžืžื ื•,

The only way I could know

ื”ื“ืจืš ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ื” ืฉื‘ื” ื™ื›ื•ืœืชื™
ืœื“ืขืช ืžื” ืขื•ื‘ืจ ืขืœื™ื•,
01:29
what was going on with him,
20
89837
1618
01:32
what he felt,
21
92123
1499
ืžื” ื”ื•ื ืžืจื’ื™ืฉ,
01:34
was looking him in the eye.
22

1859
ื”ื™ืชื” ืœื”ืกืชื›ืœ ืœื• ื‘ืขื™ื ื™ื™ื.
01:37
But that bridge was broken.

2153
ืื‘ืœ ื”ื’ืฉืจ ื”ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืฉื‘ื•ืจ.
01:42
How could I teach him about life?
24
102441
2431
ืื™ืš ื™ื›ื•ืœืชื™ ืœื”ื“ืจื™ืš ืืช ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ?
01:47
When I did things he liked, he would look at me,
25
107339
3908
ื›ืฉืขืฉื™ืชื™ ืžืฉื”ื• ืฉืžืฆื ื—ืŸ ื‘ืขื™ื ื™ื•,
ื”ื•ื ื”ื‘ื™ื˜ ื‘ื™;
01:51
and we were connected.
26
111271
1534
ื”ื™ื™ื ื• ื‘ื™ื—ื“.
01:53
So I dedicated myself to working with him on those things,
27
113705
3568
ื›ืš ืฉื”ืงื“ืฉืชื™ ืืช ื”ื–ืžืŸ ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืืช ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ื”ืืœื”,
01:57
so we would have more and more eye-contact moments.

ื›ื“ื™ ืฉื™ื”ื™ื• ืœื ื• ื™ื•ืชืจ ื•ื™ื•ืชืจ ืจื’ืขื™ื ืฉืœ ืงืฉืจ ืขื™ืŸ.
02:03
We would spend hours and hours playing tag with his older sister, Alexia,

ื”ืขื‘ืจื ื• ืฉืขื•ืช ืขืœ ื’ื‘ื™ ืฉืขื•ืช ื‘ืžืฉื—ืง ืชื•ืคืกืช

02:10
and when we said: "I caught you!"
30

2617
ื•ื›ืฉื”ื™ื” ืชื•ืจื• ืœื•ืžืจ "ืื ื™ ืืชืคื•ืก ืืชื›ืŸ!"
02:14
he would look around for us,

134006
1694
ื”ื•ื ื—ื™ืคืฉ ืืช ืžื‘ื˜ื™ื ื•,
02:16
and at that moment, I could feel he was alive.

ื•ื‘ืื•ืชื• ืจื’ืข, ื”ืจื’ืฉืชื™ ืฉื”ื•ื ื—ื™.
02:24
We also hold a record for hours spent in a swimming pool.

02:31
Ivan always had a passion for water.
34
151002
3356
02:35
I remember when he was two and a half,
35
155654
2857
ืื ื™ ื–ื•ื›ืจืช ืฉื›ืฉื”ื™ื” ื‘ืŸ ืฉื ืชื™ื™ื ื•ื—ืฆื™,
02:39
on a rainy winter day,
36
159581
3300
ื‘ื™ื•ื ื—ื•ืจืฃ ืื—ื“, ื›ืฉื™ืจื“ ื”ืจื‘ื” ื’ืฉื,
02:42
I was taking him to an indoor pool,
37
162905
2476
ื”ื‘ืืชื™ ืื•ืชื• ืœื‘ืจื™ื›ื” ืžืงื•ืจื”,
02:45
because even on rainy days we'd go swimming.
38
165405
2650
ื›ื™ ืืคื™ืœื• ื‘ื™ืžื™ื ื›ืืœื” ืœื ื”ืคืกืงื ื• ืœืœื›ืช ืœื‘ืจื™ื›ื”.
02:49
We were on the highway, and I took the wrong exit.
39
169643
3688
ื ืกืขื ื• ื‘ื›ื‘ื™ืฉ ื”ืžื”ื™ืจ,
ื•ืœืงื—ืชื™ ืืช ื”ื™ืฆื™ืื” ื”ืœื ื ื›ื•ื ื”.
02:54
He burst into tears and cried inconsolably, nonstop,
40
174115
3942
ื•ื”ื•ื ื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืœื‘ื›ื•ืช, ืœืœื ื”ืคืกืงื”,
02:58
until I turned back.
41

1520
ืขื“ ืฉื—ื–ืจืชื™ ืœื“ืจืš ื”ื ื›ื•ื ื”
03:00
Only then did he calm down.
42
180356
1622
ื•ืจืง ืื– ื”ื•ื ื ืจื’ืข.
03:03
How was it possible that a two and a half year old
43
183348
3696
ืื™ืš ื–ื” ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœื”ื™ื•ืช
ืฉื‘ื’ื™ืœ ืฉื ืชื™ื™ื ื•ื—ืฆื™ ื”ื•ื ืœื ื”ื’ื™ื‘ ืœืฉืžื•,
03:07
didn't respond to his own name,
44
187068
1807
03:09
yet in the middle of the rain and fog, where I couldn't see anything,
45
189671
4124
ืื‘ืœ ื‘ืืžืฆืข ื”ื’ืฉื ื•ื”ืขืจืคืœ, ื›ืฉืื ื™ ืœื ื”ืฆืœื—ืชื™ ืœืจืื•ืช ื›ืœื•ื,
03:13
he knew the exact route?
46
193819
4306
ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืžืกื•ื’ืœ ืœื–ื”ื•ืช ื‘ื“ื™ื•ืง ืืช ื”ื“ืจืš?
03:20
That's when I realized that Ivan had an exceptional visual memory,
47
200886
3440
ื•ื›ืš ืฉืžืชื™ ืœื‘ ืฉืœืื™ื•ื•ืŸ ื™ืฉ ื–ื™ื›ืจื•ืŸ ื—ื–ื•ืชื™ ื™ื•ืฆื ื“ื•ืคืŸ
03:25
and that that would be my way in.
48
205362
3400
ื•ืฉื–ื• ื”ื“ืจืš ืฉืœื™ ืœื”ื’ื™ืข ืืœื™ื•.
03:29
So I started taking pictures of everything,
49
209647
2370
ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœืฆืœื ืชืžื•ื ื•ืช ืฉืœ ื›ืœ ืžื™ื ื™ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื,
03:32
and teaching him what life was like,
50
212688
2146
ื•ืœืœืžื“ ืื•ืชื• ืขืœ ื”ื—ื™ื™ื ื‘ื“ืจืš ื–ื•,
03:34
showing it to him, picture by picture.
51
214858
3590
ืœื”ืจืื•ืช ืœื• ืื•ืชื... ืชืžื•ื ื” ืื—ืจื™ ืชืžื•ื ื”.
03:39
Even now, it's the way Ivan communicates
52
219578
4698
ื’ื ื”ื™ื•ื ื–ื• ื”ื“ืจืš ืฉื‘ื” ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ ืžืกืคืจ ืœื ื•
03:44
what he wants,
53
224300
1362
ืžื” ื”ื•ื ืจื•ืฆื”, ืžื” ื”ื•ื ืฆืจื™ืš,
03:46
what he needs
54
226131
1279
03:48
and also what he feels.
55
228212
2390
ื•ื’ื ืžื” ื”ื•ื ืžืจื’ื™ืฉ.
03:53
But it wasn't just Ivan's eye contact that mattered.
56
233843
3199
ืื‘ืœ ืœื ื”ื™ื” ืžื“ื•ื‘ืจ ืจืง ื‘ืžื‘ื˜ ืฉืœ ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ.
03:58
Everyone else's did, too.
57
238752
1964
ืืœื ื’ื ื‘ืžื‘ื˜ ืฉืœ ื›ืœ ื”ืฉืืจ.
04:02
How could I make people see not only his autism,
58
242555
3990
ืื™ืš ื ืฆืœื™ื— ืœื’ืจื•ื
ืฉื™ืจืื• ืœื ืจืง ืืช ื”ืื•ื˜ื™ื–ื,
04:06
but see him the person
59
246569
1396
ืืœื ืฉื™ืกืชื›ืœื• ืขืœื™ื•,
04:09
and everything he can give;
60
249132
1669
ืขื ื›ืœ ืžื” ืฉื”ื•ื ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืชืช?
04:12
everything he can do;

252136
1746
ืขื ื›ืœ ืžื” ืฉื”ื•ื ืžืกื•ื’ืœ ืœืขืฉื•ืช?
04:15
the things he likes and doesn't like,
62
255207
2638
ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉื”ื•ื ืื•ื”ื‘, ื•ืืœื” ืฉืœื,
04:17
just like any one of us?
63
257869
1840
ื›ืžื• ื›ืœ ืื—ื“ ืžืื™ืชื ื•?
04:21
But for that, I also had to give of myself.
64
261131
3070
ื‘ืฉื‘ื™ืœ ื–ื”, ื’ื ืื ื™ ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืฆืจื™ื›ื” ืœืขืฉื•ืช ืืช ื—ืœืงื™.
04:25
I had to have the strength to let him go,
65
265614
2047
ื”ื™ื™ืชื™ ืฆืจื™ื›ื” ืœืžืฆื•ื ืืช ื”ื›ื•ื— ืœืฉื—ืจืจ ืื•ืชื•.
04:28
which was extremely difficult.
66
268716
2059
ื•ื–ื” ื”ื™ื” ืœื™ ืงืฉื” ืžืื•ื“.
04:33
Ivan was 11 years old,
67
273117
1470
ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ ื”ื™ื” ื‘ืŸ 11,
04:35
and he went for treatment in a neighborhood near our house.
68
275575
3690
ื•ื”ื•ื ื”ื™ื” ืžื˜ื•ืคืœ ืงืจื•ื‘ ืœื‘ื™ืช, ื‘ืฉื›ื•ื ื” ืื—ืจืช.
04:40
One afternoon, while I was waiting for him,
69
280613
3431
ื•ืขืจื‘ ืื—ื“, ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ืฉื—ื™ื›ื™ืชื™ ืœื•,
04:44
I went into a greengrocer,
70
284683
1336
ื ื›ื ืกืชื™ ืœืžื›ื•ืœืช ืื—ืช,
04:46
a typical neighborhood store with a little bit of everything.
71
286043
3269
ืžื›ื•ืœืช ื˜ื™ืคื•ืกื™ืช ื‘ืฉื›ื•ื ื” ืฉื™ืฉ ื‘ื” ืงืฆืช ืžื”ื›ืœ.
04:50
While doing the shopping,
72
290248
1552
ื•ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ืงื ื™ื™ื”,
04:51
I started talking to Jose, the owner.
73
291824
3210
ื”ืชื—ืœืชื™ ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืขื ื—ื•ืกื”, ื‘ืขืœ ื”ืžื›ื•ืœืช.
04:56
I told him about Ivan,
74
296762
1383
ืกื™ืคืจืชื™ ืœื• ืขืœ ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ, ืขืœ ื”ืื•ื˜ื™ื–ื ืฉืœื•,
04:58
that he had autism,
75
298877
1356
05:01
and that I wanted him to learn to walk down the street by himself,
76
301257
4268
ื•ืฉืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืฉื”ื•ื ื™ืœืžื“ ืœืœื›ืช ืœื‘ื“ ื‘ืจื—ื•ื‘,
05:05
without anyone holding his hand.
77
305549
2100
ื‘ืœื™ ืฉืื™ืฉ ื™ื—ื–ื™ืง ืœื• ืืช ื”ื™ื“.
05:08
So I decided to ask Jose if Thursdays around 2pm,
78
308695
3666
ื•ื”ืขื–ืชื™ ืœืฉืื•ืœ ืื•ืชื•
ืื ื‘ื™ืžื™ ื—ืžื™ืฉื™ ื‘ืฉืชื™ื™ื ืื—ืจ ื”ืฆื”ืจื™ื™ื,
05:13
Ivan could come and help him arrange the water bottles on the shelves,
79
313329
3749
ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ ื™ื•ื›ืœ ืœื‘ื•ื ืœืขื–ื•ืจ ืœื• ืœืกื“ืจ ืืช ื”ืžื“ืคื™ื ืขื ื‘ืงื‘ื•ืงื™ ื”ืžื™ื
ื›ื™ ื”ื•ื ืžืื•ื“ ืื”ื‘ ืœืืจื’ืŸ ื“ื‘ืจื™ื,
05:17
because he loved to organize things.
80
317102
2315
05:19
And as a reward, he could buy some chocolate cookies,
81
319441
3766
ื•ื‘ืชื•ืจ ืชื’ืžื•ืœ, ืœืงื ื•ืช ืขื•ื’ื™ื•ืช ืฉื•ืงื•ืœื“,
05:23
which were his favorite.
82
323231
1746
ื”ืขื•ื’ื™ื•ืช ื”ืื”ื•ื‘ื•ืช ืขืœื™ื•.
05:27
He said "yes" right away.
83
327663
1500
ื”ื•ื ื”ืกื›ื™ื ืžื™ื“.
05:30
So that's how it went for a year:
84
330635
3242
ื•ื›ืš ื‘ืžืฉืš ืฉื ื”,
05:33
Ivan would go to Jose's greengrocer,
85
333901
2290
ืื™ื•ื•ืŸ ื”ื’ื™ืข ืœืžื›ื•ืœืช ืฉืœ ื—ื•ืกื”,
05:37
help him arrange the shelves of water bottles
