TedX
It was a such an honor and privilege to get the opportunity to give a TedX Talk.
This is the recording of my TedX Talk: https://www.
News coverage of the event by the Frist Center.
In the spirit of spreading ideas, TEDx is a program that brings people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, live speakers and TEDTalks videos combine to spark profound conversations and connections in a small group.
The upcoming TEDxFolsom High School Youth event promises to be an inspiring experience. The speakers are prepared to unleash their inner selves, share their stories and emotions, and spread the one idea everybody has been waiting for. They aim to bring change to the community and show their spark to the world. The event will allow high school students to stand alongside adults and unleash their hidden power.
One of these speakers will be FCAI’s own Hari Srinivasan, Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering Fellow. This event is open to the public, and tickets are available here.

On January 3rd, 2024, Frist Center for Autism and Innovation Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering Fellow Hari Srinivasan published his second article in Time magazine, entitled “The Pervasive Loneliness of Autism”.
In this thought-provoking article, Srinivasan discusses how the epidemic of loneliness disproportionally effects the autistic population, and is only exacerbated by U.S. notions of independent living being the ideal.
Well done Hari, for another amazing piece of work!
