Autism Center
In India

It's been an absolute honour to work with differently abled kids & young adults. The last 12 years that I have worked at ASMC has been a learning experience for me and continues to help me grow in other aspects of my life as well. Patience, compassion and dutifulness are some of the qualities that I have found myself inculcating spontaneously in my day to day life. I would like to take the opportunity of quoting a favourite line from one of the movies that I really liked " With great power comes greater responsibilities".

ASMC provides me with an environment that allows me to 'do what I love and love what I do.' Each day at ASMC is interesting, full of learning opportunities and rewarding. Working with the neurodivergent individuals for the past 13 years has taught me to stay compassionate and humble, perceive things from a different lens, recognize individual differences and needs, be more sensitive and celebrate small joys. It is both an honor and blessing to be a part of this amazing Team and be able to create meaningful impact in the lives of so many families.

Being a Trainee at ASMC was my first job after I completed my Masters. I've been here for 12 years now and I've learnt and grown so much! My most important learning, however, has been how to see the world differently. My students have taught me this. I look forward to IAC which is our dream project of having a safe space for adults on the spectrum.

IAC We would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your invaluable support and sponsorship of the art and craft activities at the India International Down Syndrome Conference at Vedic Village, Kolkata on the 13th and 14th of September 2024. Your commitment to creating an inclusive and engaging environment for individuals with Down syndrome made a significant impact. The art and craft sessions were not only enjoyable but also empowering, allowing participants to express their creativity and build confidence. Your efforts helped foster a sense of community and joy among attendees Your volunteers were patient and engaging, helping our self-advocates every step of the way. Their understanding nature and ability to connect is indeed heatwarming. Thank you for your dedication and for making this conference a memorable experience. And hope that you would continue to support and uplift our community.

When I first read about IAC on paper, the immediate feeling that I got was one of relief as I felt I finally had the answer to the constant fear that I have of ""hat will happen to my son after us". Also as my son has been going to their sister organisation for more than a decade now, I am sure about the care and the concern that they will show to all the members who will join IAC as well. I wish the very best to all the people who are the helm and all the children/adults who will join IAC for a very nurturing and fruitful future ahead.
