I am writing this in separate posts to highlight its significance. I met many individuals from various sectors, including NGOs, social workers, and politicians, to discuss research programs and explore new aspects of autism. Unfortunately, many rejected my proposals, with some even suggesting, "Why don’t you go to the USA on your own?" Some NGOs mentioned they already had their research programs in place, but none offered support. However, when I met Sunil Anna Shelke, MLA, he was the first person to listen patiently and truly understand the impact of autism and the importance of research for the overall wellness of autistic children. I wanted to initiate this effort with some NGOs, and he suggested we take it to the government level to ensure its longevity. He wasn’t just thinking about his constituency but the entire state of Maharashtra. We even visited the Mantralaya to meet with minister, and Anna has consistently been there to see what the government can do. I deeply respect Anna for being a leader who genuinely cares about the well-being of everyone. We need more ministers like him who listen to our pleas and respond wholeheartedly.

I am mildly autistic and am an mbbs student. I am not able to catch up things like instructions and social cues like the rest of my classmates and it takes me time to do so. This was there even in my school days where I had my own kindergarten teacher scold me everyday for not understanding tasks/instructions. I even had no friends. I thought all this would get over when I come to college. But no, it's still the same: no friends, being picked on/underestimated by classmates and some professors in a MEDICAL college. Can't believe some of these same people are gonna underestimate/ill treat people like me and become psychiatrists to treat people with autism

Archana ma’am, thank you so much for your selfless work. It feels imperative that parents come together to create more centers for our autistic children, providing all necessary therapies in one place. We need many more of these comprehensive centers. Additionally, there should be government schemes in place to support this effort. We need increased research, more facilities, and sensory-based parks where parents can take their children. Such initiatives would significantly enhance the quality of life for autistic kids and their families.
@TogetherForAutism-e1t6 ай бұрын
This issue holds my whole heart. Empathy seems to be dwindling in our society. Few people attempt to understand what parents and families of autistic children are going through. Almost all parents have that one million dollar question, "When will my child outgrow autism?" They get response, “It is a lifelong condition “. This can feel dismissive, especially for parents who have only recently come to terms with their child’s diagnosis. These parents are vulnerable, scared, and often devastated, having cried countless days and nights, feeling like it's the end of the world. Many fall into depression, suffer panic attacks, and experience anxiety. Anyone interacting with the parents of an autistic child should show at least an ounce of empathy. You may not know that these parents have barely slept through the night for the past few years. They feel incredibly lonely, their aging parents can’t help with babysitting, and their siblings are preoccupied with their own lives and struggles. These parents are fighting tirelessly for the well-being of their children. If possible, try to offer a helping hand. A little empathy and support can make a world of difference.

I have a child who is autistic non verbal but seeks sensory activities. He is addicted to movement. Movement of swings, he loves the feeling when an aeroplane manoeuvres, he loves trampoline movement which can overstimulate him sometimes. He can stay on swing for 6 hours a day. He's not addicted to iPad or screens. He can go on rollercoaster 12 times in a funfair and not get bored or scared. He loves soft play and play parks. His biggest let down is no interest for learning language, puzzles, toys l. His body is toy for him. He are traumatised by parks and funfairs as he won't come out of them!

Anaita ma’am, you mentioned that there is study and research going on all over the world. What about India? Are any research programs being conducted here? If possible, could you please elaborate. I totally agree with you that we don't have many experts. Compared to the number of ASD cases, the number of specialists is woefully inadequate. In the USA, numerous studies are being conducted, exploring different facets of autism. Autism feels like a jigsaw puzzle with many missing pieces. For instance, many doctors are reluctant to consider the role of gut health and diet. However, when I followed specific dietary recommendations, I observed significant changes. A more open-minded approach could lead to better outcomes for children with ASD. As you said, root cause is not yet clear, it would be better not to rule out any possibility.

We humans make definitions mostly based on our lack of understanding. Psychiatry is just a theory for these so-called neuro typical people to define neuro divergence. The neuro typical brain will never understand or be able to define the neuro divergent brain with the english words you know. It's way more complicated than that.

Desensitization isn't a thing. What it teaches the child is to bear the sensation of the stimulus over and over and adjust their outward reaction to it. The sensation never goes away, you just teach them how to hide their reaction to it. Which is essentially ABA. Instead of desensitization maybe give them the supports to handle that exposure to stimulus. Like ear protection for sounds etc. Thanks for the video. Acceptance starts with awareness.

The problem is that there is purposeful intent to undermine the autistic community by adding individuals with genuine mental disabilities in there.

You need a different perspective. The neuro-typical brain is a brain that has adapted to our Safe/Secure lifestyle in gated communities where people do repetitive tasks to achive a greater common goal. This type of lifestyle and jobs with repetitive tasks makes the brain dumb as it ignores all the sensory inputs it gets from our senses and hence zero emotional outputs for a successful marriage and work life. Our brains are devolving and we call that normal whereas the neuro-divergent brain where all this works has been classified as a disorder 🤣
