Ep 8: Strengths in writing, coding and more with mom Jayashree Iyer
In this episode we are happy to spotlight the 13 year old Idhaant- a published author , poet, coder, budding historian and much more. In this conversation with his mother Jayashree Iyer's journey as a parent- on how a diagnosis helped her understand her son better, how they identified his strengths, nurtured and motivated him , the beautiful bond he shares with his younger sister and how we all evolve as human beings, thanks to our children.
What is neurodiversity ? It is just a normal variation in the human diversity and like everyone else, neurodivergent children come with their own set of strengths which when built on , helps them work wonders. sometimes all that it takes for a parent is to accept that diversity in their children.
Host Shwetha is parent of 18-year-old Aditi, an award winning author on the autism spectrum and 6-year-old Kriti who is already creative with her poems and artworks. As a parent-advocate, Shwetha feels that there is so much of conflicting views on the internet about neurodiversity that it would help if parents are able to access reliable resources that would help them work with their child better. She wants to bring to the fore stories of special-needs parents who have focussed on their child's strength and passion to make the journey for all of them happier.

Hello I am Idhant's Home tutor. I just want to express how great I actually felt after watching this video. I really feel the journey with a kid like Idhant has been so amazing. He taught me a lot in it and personally I feel that if neuro divergent kids are motivated and support then they can bring a lot of changes. I appreciate this channel's effort to spread awareness and support for them.
Hi do we have to show the authorities a proof of my disability? Please let me know so that I can prepare accordingly
Hi! Thanks for such an amazing video!
Such a happy story Ashu.. I read it again today..
Awesome Pratima ❤❤

Very nice and inspiring
An inspiring and commendable journey of mom and her son ❤
Great achievement both dad & son
Remya, It's truly inspiring to watch this video. It's very encouraging to see the insight and vision of your approach in acclerating a creative art hub like' Will at Work'. Handwork is really a motivating space for children with ADHD and it is genuinely building resilience within us and children. The bonding that is happening in the process is the real game changer for everyone's life. Also, we will never know what's inside them until we give leeway for their spontaneity. It is wonderful to watch Meenu grow into an entrepreneur herself. Kudos to your efforts and the whole ecosystem of support behind you to bring in this marvelous journey together with our children ❤❤❤ 👏 👏
Beautiful! Could relate to each word. Beautiful compilation.
Thankyou so much for this wonderful compilation and opportunity shwetha and team... Really grateful to help take these stories for more to relate and join hands.... ❤
Karthick, its touching and a joy to see you blossom so beautifully. May you grow to your fullest potential. Thank you Karthick.
Excellent, Nishanth, Akila,Swetha. Source of inspiration. The conversation covered many areas. Realistic.

Thanks Mugdha for sharing these beautiful art work of our youngsters with Autism... it's been a great learning experience to work with these children who never showed their interest in painting.. but after our SRIJAN creative art and soul workshop the results were amazing... now so many special children have joined our WhatsApp group and even copying each other's paintings 😂❤
