M. So, we had another get together this Sunday…How was your experience…

A. it was manageable.

M. Oh…Really!

A. Yes.

M. How it became manageable for you?

A. with trying.

M. Oh...That’s really great…What and how did you try?

A.  I tried to be very mindful while dealing with sensory issues.

M. Amazing! So you are putting your conscious efforts and learning to be tolerate and becoming an observer…

A. Yes.

M. So, what kind of sensory issues you were having there...

A. Sound, dirty smell.

M. Hmm…But you managed… You need not to always bear it…But these kind of situations also offers an opportunity to be tolerant at times and more importantly, you will learn to observe your mind as well as others.

A. no…in these situations with so many people I cannot bear it.

M. That’s what I am saying, you need not to always bear it but at the same time if you will prepare yourself for any change then it will help you…changes doesn’t happen daily…They occurs once in a while....But with these changes we learn many new skills…

A. good learning it will make me kind and mature.

M. Yes…You will be an observer of your own mind as well as others…

A. Hmm.

    Always the conversation between both of you gives a clarity of what my son might be going through . This is so mature talk and there are only true facts in Akshat's expression part.

  Monochrome One day I realised what my child had long  known Between my brows a line had grown Running up into my forehead when I was  tense ... and two little fingers stretched to 'undo' it - I wonder how he had sensed He of all people, I thought would not understand. For I imagined him with an aura of question marks around his head They said he was that way blind - as he would could not read people's mind Left all confused and anxious as he would not know - what a person meant when they frowned or raised a brow. His mind, a black and white world....I thought it lacked some colours bold Felt sorry - and that is where it went wrong - I've realised since.... Range needs to be narrow, for depth to be intense. So many unique gift he has, I find it was I who had been, all along, colour blind By Anagha Jawalekar Range needs to be narrow and depth to be intense....so apt...                                             The Beginning It all started 15 years ago (in 2006) when m

Experimenting with Online Classes

  The Online World That day you shared something, and made me reflect... It was time you had your friends too. Clever of you to pass me the hint!  Hence with guidance, I introduced you to the world of online learning,  and I feel it's been rewarding Coz since then, I have watched you converse, sit for long and listen,  I often see you extending your comfort zone and be available at different times than you'd prefer I can sense that you are able to open up your mind there. I hope you make bonds that last long, that recharge you time and again, connections...that enrich your life. By, Anagha Jawalekar It was Akshat's 18th birthday last month.

It gives me a sense of achievement when he expresse

Music is there to  rescue me from the clutches of anxiety from a bad mood to uplift me, calm me It gives me cheer It gives me hope like chatting with mum like writing things down Music helps me cope. By, Anagha Jawalekar One fine day, when I and Akshat were conversing, he mentioned that music helps him to cope. Although, I know about it very well, I thought why not discuss about it in detail. And I started discussing with him on 'coping mechanism'.

We started it in November, left in between and then finished it just a few days
