Autism

My son talked and I failed

tulikaprasad

I'm mom to a beautiful son who is on the Autism Spectrum. I love to share stories and experiences about our journey and learn from other families along the way. Autism has changed our family and our perspective and my mission is to be part of that change that will make the world a more inclusive place for special kids like my son.

    It is hard

    Asking always why to any action actually gives us lot of insights into their world

    So many moments I wudve thought so differently too

  • Hi Tulika ,

    I am a mom of 6 year old daughter who is autistic and non-verbal .I am staying here in U.S. When I am reading your article ,I can see myself in your words.. I feel like atleast there are few people who can understand and relate to what we are going through. Could we WhatsApp each other.
    I am also from India

    • Hi Sarah!! I’m glad that you find my blog relatable
      Feel free to Send me a message through my braindroplets page in FB and I can share my number there.

  • This is my biggest worry and as I am trying to type words fail me. I am going to run to the rest room, I don’t think a full on meltdown will be encouraged at my workplace.
