Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological and development disorder. It affects individual’s ability to interact, communicate, learn and behave.

Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) describes the key features of ASD as:

1. Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors.

2. Difficulty in communicating and interacting with other people.

3. Symptoms affects their abilities to function in school, work or other areas of life.

If you are observing developmental delays in your child, it’s a good idea to consider screening if they are 9 months old or above.

A recent study suggests that it is essential to go beyond short-term reactive care for children with autism. Introducing an integrative model which provides more opportunities to utilize from data science and digital health technologies to improve support to children, adults and families.

Here is a video to understand how neurofeedback can help in improving social behavior in children with autism.

Early diagnosis is always good to in order to begin intervention and build support.

Talk Personal

Why now? Why now?

Do I really have to do this?

Is that what I need?

Can I choose not to?

Will it be safe?

These are some of the questions that may pop for some of you while talking to someone. Opening yourself all out there not only makes you feel vulnerable but scared about safety at times.

The details may contain feelings of hurt and sometimes remind you of memories of the past. However, sometimes it’s a good idea to let it out and empty your bucket. It could be to anyone – your friend, therapist, partner, or family. It’s not necessary to share everything but somethings.

World is a lonely place when there is no one to share your hearts out. Communication is very important and integral to all communities. It is not limited humans but for everyone that exists in nature.

Happy weekend!

Remembering Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh was Dutch born on March 30, 1853 in the Brabant village of Zundert. At the age of 27 he became a painter and rest is history.

His work has greatly influenced the current Expressionism in modern art. Van Gogh became famous post death after his work was auctioned for high sums. He suffered from hallucinations and nightmares at times. He often reported that he was suffering from fever. At various times he reported bouts of insomnia. He was unable to sleep for three weeks prior to his diagnosis of gonorrhea in The Hague. He died at the age of 37.

Here are two of his quotes and my favorite painting by him-

โ€ข Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

โ€ข What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night , 1889

Here is a song which you can enjoy covering his paintings and a museum dedicated to Vincent van Gogh.
