Join us for an inspiring talk with Ishwarya Kumar
Ishwarya Kumar is a highly driven and accomplished professional with extensive experience in leadership and global talent development, as well as solid expertise in leading the development of learning solutions, design, and products for behavioural learning.
Ishwarya writes this less as a mom of a 9 year old, minimally speaking child on the autism spectrum and more as an ally who advocates that millions of children like my son are thinkers even if they are not speakers.
Autism comes in various formats - remember, if you have met one child on the spectrum, you have met only one child on the spectrum..Each version of autism is different.
One common thread though that connects all these beautiful people is their kindness, their purity at heart and their intelligence which is often misunderstood, misinterpreted and heavily underestimated.
One such individual is Hasan - who spent many years of his life trying to communicate with a heavily dysregulated body. Only recently, with a ton of effort we had a breakthrough.
Hasan and many individuals like him are extremely competent, they are listening, thinking and feeling all the time. Hasan now uses his gross motor skills to communicate openly through a letterboard. A simple 26-letter board helps him speak his mind off through his fingers.
Hasan who recently celebrated his 9th birthday , 8 years of it was nothing but pure underestimation, struggle and sensory outbursts - the last one year has been like rebirth.
Hasan wakes up one day and decides that he wants to write a RAP SONG about autism.
He did it one letter at a time, he typed his heart out without a single error or prompt - he typed out a 404-word rap! ❤️
He calls it "GIFTW(RAP)PED" and - let's be real - this left Ishwarya speechless.
So pour yourself a coffee and join us for an exciting new episode of Neurodiversity Stories.
