Welcome to my World

Hi ! I am Aditi . I am a sixteen year old with a head full of thoughts and ideas . I love music and I love to travel .The rhythm of life is at its melodious best when you are exploring new places . I want to travel the world , be surrounded by people  I truly care about and just be me . Life offers endless possibilities for those willing to explore and I believe that I am a student of life .

I am also a person with Autism and I use a text to speech app called Avaz to communicate using the iPad. Technology is a catalyst for change -the catalyst that has helped me find my voice and helped you tune into my thoughts and the thoughts of others in my tribe .It is the game changer that is helping in the creation of a level playing field for people with Autism .

I am a huge believer in the concept of superpower . Superpower is the extraordinary skill that ordinary people possess which helps them make a positive impact . My ability to put my thoughts to words -words that question the notion of a lack of inner world in us autistics , is my superpower .

I want to use my superpower to help unravel  to the world, the thinking mind behind the facade of autism. 

Welcome to my universe and I hope you enjoy coming here!!!

My life, my way!

  Autonomy; it is an eight letter word that sums up the end goal that most parents envision for their children. It is also something that is organically and gradually achieved as a child grows into a teen , and eventually into an adult. Or, does it?!!! Welcome to autism land where the term ‘autonomy’ takes on a completely different meaning, or is conspicuous by its absence. If you find yourself wondering about the hard hitting statement that I just made, then it’s time to take a step back to understand what the life path of many autistics, especially those with higher support needs looks like. As with all other autistics, those with high support needs  too have an atypical sensory profile, except, out here the level of difference is so intense that it impacts the attainment of gross and fine motor skills, besides a delay or complete absence of speech. What this also entails for parents and primary caregivers is that they have to actively work with us to help us achieve these...

But Why?!!

  But Why?! Rekha and Ravi counted every passing minute as they waited for the clock to chime ten. The passage of time took on a different dimension when waiting for an appointment in a developmental paediatrician’s clinic , waiting to be told what could possibly be wrong with the apple of your eye, who was all of two and half years old . Nidhi, the said apple of the eye, stood near the window, rocking , and completely oblivious to what was happening around her . ‘You can go in now’, said the lady who manned the front desk . Rekha and Ravi walked into Dr Shreya’s office with Nidhi in tow. ‘Good morning and please sit down’, said Dr Shreya, even as she observed Nidhi do a quick recce of her room before choosing to go and stand by the window , ‘Nidhi’s EEG and psychological assessment reports have come.’ Rekha and Ravi took a deep breath, bracing themselves for the worst . ‘Nidhi is on the Autism spectrum’, said Dr Shreya Rekha’s world came crashing down when she heard the A word .

Look Beyond the Label

  I am an author -an award winning author of fiction and this is the identity that I own with pride . Incidentally, the process of getting here involved quashing a few widely held myths about non-speaking autism and this is something that I have learned to take in my stride . It is also something that made me think about the ways in which I could use my voice to help parents , educators and the community at large   to understand non-speaking autism and the need for an alternative mode of communication better . I have had the opportunity to interact with middle schoolers   and their educators of a reputed school in my city that is affiliated to the IBO, a government school in my city where the students are children of daily wage workers , the educators of government schools from a neighbouring state and the educators, parents and community at large of a school for autistics in a Tier 2 town in my state , among others , in my capacity as a writer of fiction, who is also a n...
