 Umm, this is so well written and an incredibly important article!

BAM! Hari Srinivasan you are a gentleman, a scholar and an overall phenomenal advocate!!! Thank you for blazing the way for so many nonspeaking, minimally speaking and unreliably speaking people!
This is a MUST READ, featured in TIME MAGAZINE!

This is awesome Hari and so needed. Congrats on this! 

Wow, so incredible. I am a clinician in the greater LA area and provide psychological assessments, including ASD. Such a great read. 

You raise several issues about the limitations of research and the “hot mess” you describe, and also point to some solutions. I appreciate many of the ideas, especially the mobile labs and the joystick for binary decisions. 

Congrats! This is great!

Very well done. :-)

Fantastic

Congrats! That is super neat :) And kudos to you for being so open about your diagnosis and support needs. 

Congrats on the insightful op-ed! I loved the point, " If we are left out of research, we are left out of the solutions as well." I wasn't aware of the bias in autism research. 

What an outstanding article. Bravo!

Stimming is not soothing

 I wish folks stop saying stimming is soothing. 

Stimming is soothing only upto a point. It quickly crosses over into OCD and is exhausting, mentally and physically draining, caught in this behavioral loop you cannot get out of.

Joy is the feeling of love and connection to all things

Contemplation, one line a day. #MentalHealth

Contemplation

 Amusement is the spice of life that adds flavor to our days. -Hari Srinivasn



 

The power of optimism lies in the ability to see the silver lining in every cloud.

My article in Time Magazine
" autism research has ... essentially oversampled the same, narrow band of what are considered the easily “researchable autistics,” and expected those findings (as well as the applications and interventions that resulted from them) to apply to everyone."
" If we are left out of research, we are left out of the solutions as well. "
