Our experiments with Autism - A never ending journey

  DIL CHAHTA HAI People often wish for many things and expect them to become reality. Dil chahta hai! Yes, we tend to expect so many things in our lives that we often end up cribbing and fussing. But does the expectation always need to be fulfilled? Desires are feelings that knows no limit and expectations many times get you trapped in feelings that leave you emotionally fragile. As human mind always feels that expectations should meet. However, learning flexibility helps in keeping oneself grounded. Having said that, keeping expectations are not always bad. A reasonable amount of expectation is good as it helps in balancing bonds in any relationship. So, let the dil wish, desire and expect but let the mind keep a watch. Akshat Rassay 23-1-24

  21-3-24 This month India is going to vote for a new government. The nation will look forward to the making of a new India, which should be shining as a progressive, liberal and inclusive country. To vote means exercising your basic right in a democracy. It allows an individual to express his concerns and opinions. India is a young country. More than 2/3 population is below 40 years. And I fall in that category. Being young, I aspire to be a writer and as a neurodivergent, I wish for a society that is more inclusive in actions than in thoughts. Akshat Rassay

World Autism Awareness day Can mind be confined within boundaries? Can thoughts be limited? No, certainly not! Thoughts give wings to the dreams. They are fuel for the mind. Every human being is capable to think. However, a general perception of society negates a neurodivergent’s capability to think. The society assume that neurodivergents lack brains but that is not true. It is interesting to mention here that thinking is deeply rooted with autism. Being a neurodivergent (autistic) myself, I feel that I can articulate my thoughts clearly. It is a freeing feeling to express oneself. This World Autism Awareness Day, I hope for a cognitively diverse society, which believes in inclusion. -Akshat Rassay
