Cognitive series

 Starting a new series on cognitive diversity.

Two moms found this post https://care4autism.blogspot.com/.../understanding... and chose it to be a topic of discussion. The idea of a series was born there. We could get an interesting glimpse of their thoughts and their interpretations of cognitive diversity.
Sanjith is a non speaking autistic and communicates mostly using Avaz.His mother, Prashanthi, read out the post to Sanjith. He has his own page, Rumble with Sanjith. Here are his views.

Prashanthi: Where do you think change should come?
Sanjith: Schooling, Teachers are to be educated, that not all kids learn in the same way.

Some of these blogs move you to tears. One such blog that needs mention is http://teenautism.com/ .                                Having handled a child with autism for 10 years, here are some thoughts I would like to share.   For one you can never wish autism away. The complexity and the challenges only keep varying. The mother with a newly diagnosed child may want to know all about potty training, while I am out looking for hobbies that Ramam can pursue.   There are going to be challenges along the way.
