In our conversation with Anupama Bakhshy, mother of Pranav Bakhshy, a budding model and a young man on the autism spectrum, we gleaned a few insightful learnings based on her experience.

Key take aways for parents of children with special needs, particularly Autism:

1. Keep the child or the young adult at the centre and not his/her disability.

2. Believe in the child. Just because its not been done before, it does not mean it can't be done

3. Follow the child. Align to the child's inclinations

4. Superpower is not just autism, but the support of the family
