Rohan Dixit- Part-2
1) Congratulations! Rohan on completing a
year of blogging. How enjoyable was the ride?
Thank you. It has been great and I have
been enjoying it completely. I love writing about supercars, especially the
ones I have seen or photographed myself. I also enjoy researching and finding
information about the supercars I write about as it helps me get to know them better.
Every individual supercar is interesting to me and it is my mission to document
as many of them as I can and tell the stories behind them if possible. I just
recently spotted a Ferrari so that was pretty amazing.
2) You have been home-schooled. What
according to you are the pros and cons?
Homeschooling has been a good thing for me.
Not only I could learn the normal subjects but I also had the time to focus on having
other experiences in my life like going out to different places and so on and then
of course getting the time to focus on my interest in supercars. I don’t think
there were any cons.
3) Your thoughts on your family
My parents, grandparents and my whole family
have been a big support for me and they have been there for me throughout my
life. Actually I would like to talk about my uncle here because I know I
wouldn’t be where I am today if not for him.
My uncle is also a supercar fan and
actually has his own website where he blogs about supercars himself. When I was
just a child he realized my interest in supercars and became my mentor. He guided
me throughout my journey in the world of cars, always encouraged me and never
doubted my abilities. He is the one person I always talk to about supercars or
whenever I need any help with any of my blog posts or even just in general. I
will say this again. I would not be where I am today if not for him because he
has been my mentor, best friend and biggest supporter.
4) As a cofounder of C.A.R.E, why do you
think self-advocacy is important?
I am among the first generation of people
in the country who got diagnosed autistic as a child. Now most of us are young adults
and we are pretty experienced with our different kinds of special needs. Many
of us want to guide younger kids and help them with their journey living with
special needs. It will help the younger kids hearing from those who have
already been through the same journey before. That is why self advocacy is
important.
5) What do you see yourself doing with your interests in automobiles, sports, and photography?
Like I said I want to document as many
supercars as possible so I cant wait to see where that leads me. I don’t know
what supercar I will photograph next and that to me is the most exciting part
of the whole thing.
6) Your thoughts on inclusion.
