#autismawareness I am a child Psychologist practising Development work with children from all diversity. I am the founder of an organization called Healing Nest located in Vasant kunj ( and will open soon in noida). We are group of diverse professionals( OT, Speech, special ed.)under one roof catering to needs of each child. CELEBRATE NEURODIVERSITY
We should embrace the concept of neurodiversity and believe that people with differences do not need to be cured; they need help and accommodation instead. 
We look at the pool of diverse humanity and see the range of different thinking that’s made humanity’s progress in science and the creative arts possible.
A beautiful thoughts of a child
“I wish my parents knew that when I was ‘refusing’ to do something, it was often because I was overwhelmed and wasn’t given the right kind of support, especially with chores. It was difficult to be around a bunch of people, and in asking if we could go to a different (quieter) restaurant, or turn off certain noises, or not give Grandma a kiss and a hug all the time, I wasn’t trying to be rude. These were sensory issues. My parents often told me I needed to learn to ‘get over it,’ and if I didn’t I’d never be able to function in life, college, on the job, with a boyfriend, etc. I wish I could have grown up in an environment where I wasn’t constantly treated like I was broken. I felt like I wasn’t OK unless I learned to act like everyone else.”
Your child is not in need of fixing. They are in need of acceptance and understanding. … Redefine normal

Asserting that I am different – not defective – is a much healthier position to take.
