Hari what a wonderful piece in Time - every paragraph was a metaphorical mic drop!
Really good points - you put into words a lot of what I’ve been thinking about as a self advocate and as a clinician

It is not Either-Or.

A nuanced understanding
“Addressing the loneliness epidemic in the disabled community necessitates a nuanced understanding of independence because in actuality, all humans live in a cycle of dependency.” by autistic academic @HariSri108 - Hari Srinivasan.
Thought Leader.
"So proud of Hari Srinivasan for his singular voice of insight, wisdom, advocacy, and activism, and for the distinction he brings to himself and everyone with whom he is associated. The Frist Center for Autism and Innovation | Vanderbilt University is honored to count Hari among its distinguished Fellows and it is awesome to imagine what the future holds for this inspiring young thought leader."
Some amazing gracious words about me from Prof Keivan Staussun of Vanderbilt University and Director of the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation at Vanderbilt. Thank you Keivan, and I had never quite though of myself as a "thought leader."

FCAI NISE Fellow Hari Srinivasan Pens Second Op-Ed for Time Magazine
Posted by stasikjs on Friday, January 5, 2024 in FCAI News.
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!

The Loneliness Epidemic
https://time.com/6551520/loneliness-autism-essay/
My latest article in Time drew inspiration from a Keynote by US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy at the fall PD Soros conference. Dr Murthy has highlighted the growing Loneliness Epidemic in the United States. This got me thinking about loneliness in another overlooked population - the disability community, especially autism.
