Welcome to Indians
fighting Autism!!
My name is Smita Bhatt and I am dedicated to connecting Indians across
In making the
connections, I wish for families to find support, comfort, information and
helpful resources. Moreover, I hope that families find a place of belonging and
feel a sense of community. Making connections with others in similar situations
with similar experiences will help to find strength and solace in their own
lives.
To say a little about
Autism, anyone can do a search on Autism and find out just about anything about
the topic. So it’s a very well known fact that Autism
is a behavior disorder, characterized by impairments in social communication,
social interaction, and social imagination. Furthermore, it is
a disorder that affects predominantly males. These days, pediatric
clinics are flooded with children who eventually fall somewhere on the spectrum
of disorders. There is no doubt that more and more clinical cases are being
detected and the incidence of Autism still continues to
escalate.
To mention a little
about myself, I am the mother of two extraordinary boys who are also on the
spectrum. They not only bring warmth and love to my life but also have brought
inspiration and purpose. They are the reason I do what I do. My professional
background is in both Clinical Medicine and Clinical Psychology. I am currently
in midst of pursuing a Doctorate degree in Neuropsychology in hopes to help
children and families
