In episode 6 of Parenting Aaj Kal, developmental pediatrician and host Dr. Vibha Krishnamurthy sits down with Nidhi Singhal, Clinical Psychologist and Director, Action For Autism and Ved Gangoly, a 22-year-old autistic advocate and social work student, to unpack the questions families ask most — starting with the toughest one: “Doctor, when will my autistic child become 'normal'?”
Parents search for answers like: Is autism a disease? When will my child be “normal”? How do I tell my child about an autism diagnosis? What should I do during a public meltdown or sensory overload? How do I get school support in India — what to tell teachers/ special educators? How can my child make friends and self-advocate? What if autism is diagnosed in adulthood?
This episode answers those real questions with clear, dignity-first, neurodiversity-affirming guidance: Dr. Vibha reframes “normal,” Ved shares his lived experience, and Nidhi explains disclosure, anxiety, and why community support matters as much as therapy — making this a practical Hindi guide on autism for families in India.
