"Dysregulation is such a cruel thing and occupational therapists can do more to understand the mind body disconnect as well as incorporate those learnings into creative strategies that can help."

Dear Medical Professional,
I know you want to do the best for me and mean no harm. Yet our encounters could go so much better.
Firstly, I feel you give up on me even before we get started. I am not sure if it is because of the labels I carry or the โbehaviorsโ I exhibit or a combination of those and other factors. I am mostly made to feel unwelcome and quickly shown where I belong. This is through both overt and subtle actions โ such as getting an army of people into the room just to be ready incase or giving up on taking my weight simply because you assume I cannot get on a weighing scale.
Secondly, if we somehow convince you to get past the initial giving up, the imagination and creativity to actively problem solve is sorely lacking. While it might be true that science has a lot to catch up, there could be something we can do to alleviate some of the current suffering rather than punt me to the next specialist that is many months away typically and more often than not has no answers when we get there. Surely, we can do better than that.
And finally, or maybe this is where we should start, please get to know me as a human and the specific challenges I am coming to you with. I am not a stereotype and there are no cookie cutter solutions. If you trust to spend time with me then maybe we can figure something out. I donโt expect you to celebrate my accomplishments but merely to spend the time listening to me. I may take longer than others but have the same need to feel heard, one that has been denied for long.
Trust you will read and reflect. Thank you.
Love
Swarit

The month of April is my least favorite. Lots of old stereotypes are still perpetuated under the name of awareness. And the worst part sometimes is that the voices are not of those with lived experiences.
Through the month of April, I am going to share some of my lived experiences to help create awareness with specific examples. My hope is that this will be useful whether you have an autistic loved one or not.
๐๐ฑ๐บ๐ถ๐ป ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ : We have worked on feedback that the format of this series could be improved and more intune with how social media is consumed these days. You will see that reflected in these posts.

I have been excited to share this for a while. One stop for everything that I have written and will continue to write. Hoping people from different walks of life and with different interests will find something to connect with here. But most importantly, I hope that parents/caregivers of, and professionals that work with those like me find this resource helpful.
Please share with others that might find this useful. It is not for celebrating my work, so please refrain from adding any subtexts to that effect while you share.
Thank you.

April of 2023 was a memorable one for me in terms of the love and solidarity I received for my words and the awareness and understanding, sharing my lived experiences could create. We are back again this year with some new formats and other exciting additions.
Looking forward to the travel together this April to create a more understanding and just world for those in my tribe.

Dysregulation, in my experience, is just losing control of some or all of my senses. Sometimes it can be a scary place and sometimes a very happy place. In either case, I need to do something, that may or may not be widely accepted,to get back to my senses.

It has always been a dream to share my story and perspectives more broadly so I can help accelerate the learning curve for families like ours. It is very important to me that we get voices like mine out of the prisons they are in. My life ought to move others in directions not thought possible as I would not be here if others had not shown the way. It would be a huge disservice to my tribe if they are left to figuring out solutions within the traditional structures that have only failed them.

Spellx inspired me at so many different levels. It is always exciting to see new voices emerging and enriching our lives with theirs. I particularly enjoyed seeing my friends, Keshav and Narayana, enthrall the audience with their wisdom and creativity. I always enjoy hearing from older speller friends that are spellx veterans. They keep pushing the boundaries every time. I enjoyed the diversity - of presenters and their journeys, of interpretations of the same theme, of audiences in different geographies and of the hosts for the different sessions. As always, the stories of courage and resilience were inspiring and uplifting. Topics such as learning self defense or living with a different family were so new to me but equally fascinating as other topics that were more familiar and relatable.
I look forward to seeing and interacting with many of the presenters in other forums in the future. Congratulations to all the presenters and immense gratitude to all those that showed up to watch and support.

I just finished reading this book โ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐โ.
The central character is a nonspeaker and I enjoyed reading that a lot. The author, Angie Kim has done a lot of research and has portrayed the character in an empowering way.
Here is a short poem on the book.

Dr.Ambedkar has instilled a sense of hope in me for our tribeโs injustice that changes are possible.
Here is my take on him and our nonspeakers revolution.
https://kindtheory.org/blog/ambedkar/
Resharing my ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ and a song I wrote with my ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ก๐ข๐ก๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ like me.
Dreams are powerful and they keep me believing what is possible. I am deeply inspired by Dr. MLK and the civil rights movement. This is an attempt to articulate my own DREAMS FOR NONSPEAKERS in solidarity with other marginalized groups.
๐ ๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
History is a work in progress for MLKโs dreams
Many of the oppressed vouch by its underlying themes
Essential, the trifecta of truth, peace and justice
What will we give to realize his dreams as is
Right at the very core of every non speaker
There exists a truth and justice seeker
Whose heart beats for the rally of the oppressed
Whose soul does not rest with justice surfaced
Poignant is this moment in the non speaker revolution
Possibilities limitless in this historic evolution
Millions remain on the margins voiceless
Rendering the graves of the MLKs restless
Lots of small but mighty voices are emerging
Meeting the clarion call for our belonging
Long live this honorable movement
No rest until justice pervades every moment.
๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ก๐ข๐ก๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ
I have a dream that one day
there will be no more voices in prison
I have a dream that one day
our intelligence will be proved beyond reason
I have a dream that one day
medicine is a more trusted friend
I have a dream that one day
education has more to lend
I have a dream that one day
spellers take the world by storm
I have a dream that one day
ignorance is no longer the norm
I have a dream that one day
listening does not have a face
I have a dream that one day
the science keeps pace
I have a dream that one day
there are no more puzzled looks
I have a dream that one day
there echoes our voices in all nooks
I have a dream that one day
there is no more dysregulation
I have a dream that one day
thought of us invokes pure elation
I have a dream that one day
loneliness is just a thing of the past
I have a dream that one day
our opportunities are very vast
I have a dream that one day
history is on our side
I have a dream that one day
there is no stopping this tide.

Very excited to be on the Beyond 6 Seconds Podcast.
Thank you Carolyn for your thoughtful and insightful questions and for your deep interest in the life of a nonspeaker. I appreciate your time getting to know me and for producing this podcast.
Very grateful for everything you are doing for the neurodiverse community and also for showing interest in amplifying nonspeaker voices specifically.

It is a huge dream of many of my tribe that we are engaged productively in the society. Pinnacle of life for many might be moving up the ladder measured in terms of metrics that we have not had inputs into. My major hope is that we get to change the rules of the game.

Lives denied the basic human rights shared space with emerging students and leaders. Love filled the room as weary parents and grandparents came looking for answers for their loved ones. My family was in attendance as well.
I was originally nervous and intimidated but appa took the first strike. As he tried to narrate our story and engage the audience sincerely, I started finding my own courage and got my body ready for spelling live. The fact that the first couple of questions were from Mr. Deepak Nathan, a disability activist that I have come to know and admire during this trip, helped me further connect with the purpose of being there.
The questions came, the answers too. Poems were read. Applause and appreciation was generous.

There is always the notion that lives need to be fixed so we understand those better. It is easier to fix something to confirm than adjusting to it. From the grass blade that is slightly longer to humans that are different, everything needs to be fixed.
