📌Autistic children can communicate, even if they are non-verbal.
📌It's up to you to learn their unique ways of communicating to decipher what they're trying to tell you. ‼️
📌If they are acting out or exhibiting behaviors, get to the root cause & find the "why".
📌Sometimes they don't need intervention. Maybe they just need you to pay more attention.
📌Does their behavior change around certain people or environments? Find out what it is they are unable to verbalize.
📌As with any child, ALL BEHAVIOR IS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION.

Living in a world that isn’t designed with you in mind requires incredible strength, resilience, and adaptability. Autistic children, and adults, navigate challenges daily that many cannot even begin to imagine. They deserve far more than just acknowledgment; they deserve immense credit for persevering and thriving despite these obstacles.
It’s also important to remember that we should never take behavior at face value. Behavior is a form of communication, not a definitive reflection of who someone is. What we see on the surface often stems from a world that misunderstands or overwhelms them. Let’s look deeper, show compassion, and recognize the humanity and brilliance within every individual.
Together, we can create a society that embraces and supports all forms of neurodiversity.

It is essential to look beyond the surface and consider the underlying cognitive and sensory processes. Cognitive processes, including thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, significantly influence our actions. Additionally, sensory processing—how we perceive and respond to sensory information—also plays a crucial role in shaping behaviour. Behaviour emerges from a complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, sensory, and environmental factors.

I explain how the internet impacts young people.
Keynote speaker Ali!
It was my privilege to be a keynote speaker for the Conceptualising, Understanding, and Preventing Mixed Forms of Extremism Colloquium.
I spoke about the difficulty the autistic community faces, how our online safe spaces have become warped by those with nefarious intent and how the evolving landscape of radicalism presents an interesting challenge for generation alpha.
These past two days have been fascinating full of insight and intrigue, with so many amazing speakers!
The nuanced way extremism has changed, requires a nuanced response it’s my hope that through discussion and development we can assist those drawn to radicalism and help all young people to flourish.

One second.
That's how long it typically takes us to judge someone.
One glance.
That's how quickly we put people in boxes.
But here's what happens in one second at the India Autism Center:
● A child discovers they can paint their thoughts
● A parent finds hope in a support group
● A teenager masters a new skill
● A family realizes they're not alone
In a world obsessed with:
First impressions
Fast conclusions
Quick judgments
Split-second decisions
India Autism Center chooses: Patient observation Quiet understanding Steady progress Lasting impact
Because real change? It doesn't happen in a second.
It happens in moments of understanding. In spaces of acceptance. In communities of support.
And that's worth every second of the wait.
