An Unspoken Story: Living With Autism

An Unspoken Story: Living with autism. Sidharth Chandran writes from the perspective of a man who, in his own words, is ‘cocooned in autism.’

“I want everyone to know that I am a thinking, feeling man, I do not speak. I am aware that I act in ways that others see as ‘weird’ as though I had ‘no sense.’ This is because my mind and body work differently and not always in congruence with each other. I can express myself through typing. I would like people in ‘Planet Normal’ to know what people with Complex Communication Needs (non- speakers) experience.” Sidharth describes his account as a ‘window into autism’.

Lost my Voice

Not my mind

Lost my way

Not my will

Through the written word, Sidharth has found his voice in order to become a ‘Soldier for Change’.
