Public Defender’s Office of Paraná
asked permission from Casa de Apoio Paraná, where Aymee Sophie Soares de Almeida’s mother is hospitalized. The 12-year-old girl has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), her pet rooster, called Paçoca, is an emotional support for her. The family lives in Cascavel, but Janete Soares de Almeida underwent surgery in Curitiba. She needs her daughter to accompany her because she has no one to leave her with.
According to the Public Defender’s Office, the hospital unit initially denied the request. It was necessary to speak with the Municipal Health Department to obtain authorization. A refusal could postpone Janete’s surgery, scheduled for September. The legal advisor from the Special Projects Advisory of the Public Defender’s Office, Simone Maia, explained the importance of the animal to Aymee.
“Due to Aymee’s diagnosis and the need to monitor Paçoca for the emotional support
we made calls and sent documents to the Support House so that he could be welcomed too.”
The story of Aymee and Paçoca
The girl said that the presence of the rooster calms her. “I only pick him up when I’m feeling bad, and he calms me down. If he doesn’t stay, I don’t stay. He brings me happiness.”
In April, the family also needed authorization to travel by bus with Paçoca. Aymee met the enter
on a farm, when he was a little chick. According to Janete, her daughter identified with the animal because the animal was isolated from the other chicks. Since then, they haven’t been apart for about a year and a half.
“When she is out of control, especially in public, the first thing she asks for is Paçoca. It’s as if Paçoca were a instant medicine
which helps to regulate quickly. It’s much before and after him”, said the mother.
