Excerpts from the Foreword, I got to co-write with Dr Temple Grandin.
My TedX talk
My Ted X talk titled "Pebbles in the Pond of Change
Hari Srinivasan, shares a powerful message about the power of small actions in creating ever-widening ripples in the pond of change. Drawing from personal experiences and the legacy of disability rights leaders, he redefines progress as a journey that starts with simple, accessible steps. His inspiring message encourages everyone to identify and act on their own "small pebbles" to drive societal transformation.
Forbes College ranking.

A mention in National Geographic
It is just so super cool to appear in a National Geographic article. This was a article on the emotion of Awe (the focus of my undergraduate research) and i got quoted on it.

“Awe is my reminder that beneath the ordinary lies the infinite” says Hari Srinivasan, a doctoral student in neuroscience at Vanderbilt University
I had a lot of fun with the questions posed to me by the reporter.
What did not get included was how in our n our research on awe in autism, we found that while nature is the top source for everyone, autistic people are more likely to feel awe in science, patterns, big abstract ideas, and even divine or absolute truth, and less in social gatherings. It’s a more abstract and less socially grounded quality of awe. That matters for well-being, because it shows awe isn’t one-size-fits-all - practices like nature walks, stargazing, or exploring new scientific ideas can be especially powerful, low-stress ways for autistic flourishing.
For autistics, awe often rises from the natural world, big abstract ideas and patterns, rather than social moments; a different path, but just as vital for human flourishing.
Another Vanderbilt Brain Institute Retreat and Poster Presentation
Another lovely day of listening to talks and a poster presentation
Creating a page on Wikipedia
Check out the Wikipedia Page I created over the summer.

Wikipedia Article
Appreciate Wikipedia highlighting my contribution and experience with creating a Wikipedia page on Diagnostic Overshadowing in Autism.
The article about me.
Grateful for your work, which is so needed and infused with essential live experience. Keep up the good work, Hari!!
Article by Holden Thorpe, EIC of science
Totally appreciative that my in-progress research on Peripersonal Space in Autism was part of Holden Thorp's reflections on his visit to Frist Center and the Wallace Lab. Thank you.

"Mental health is fundamental to quality of life, even for those with higher support needs. The misconception that such individuals do not experience mental health issues is not only incorrect but harmful. We need interventions that are accessible and inclusive across the spectrum." - Hari Srinivasan
