Communicating with Communities, Cultures and Corporate
Reinforcing what Sridhar Sundaram has written; it is important as what we communicate to people around us and how effectively we do it.
This has been my observation in last 28 years, after the birth of my first born that people also seek logic behind the communication. A logic is always backed by a hypothesis and the latter is tested, experienced, felt, evidenced, proved and finally documented.
Persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) seem to be difficult on one hand but if observed and studied carefully, they are the most simple human beings present on this earth.
I think that somewhere they are telling us that it is time that our thought processes shift their focus from being materialistic and pollutants to leading a simple and harmonious life.
How do we do this? Is it possible?
The countries of the world have been divided in two categories; Developed and Developing; who has done this division- we the society! We all know the reason behind it. This division follows certain norms, to fit in these norms, we work, develop, innovate, research, manufacture, market, sell and consume. There is no end to our desires.
It calls for a serious action.
While we do all this, suddenly we come across a misfit, called a person with ASD, we try and make him fit.
Our educational and training courses insist on strengthening and developing our CORE COMPETENCIES.
To make persons with ASDs fit in this world, we too need to look at their core- competencies and their simple modalities. Until recently, no one worked on these core- competencies, these have been portrayed as the difficulties faced by them.
Project "Prayas" is an effort to do so. This has been described in my recent article which was published on April 22, 2014 in the newsletter of Global Sourcing Council (GSC), called "The Source"

Through this blog, our effort is to connect with all the members of society and bring this needed change.
