Living with autism has many challenges.  One of these is making a living as an adult.  Especially for individuals with severe autism, this can seem like a challenging, insurmountable task.  Today we talk to two individuals who have their own personal experiences with autism and thriving with autism. Colin Weiss is a Research Assistant for the Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders Institute at George Washington University.  He studies autism in both children and adults, and develops strategies for adults to use to successfully navigate many everyday challenges.  Besides studying autism, Colin himself is autistic.  He speaks about his own challenges and successes. Harish Bikmal also experienced autism.  His son, Himal, was diagnosed with a severe form of non-verbal autism at the age of two. Harish and his wife struggled to develop Himal’s talents, until finally they discovered the right fit – painting.  As Himal produced more and more of his paintings, Harish co-founded a startup called Zenaviv with his other son, Saket.  Zenaviv is a small business that helps children and their caregivers and adults with autism develop their artistic talents and make a living off of art. Today we talk all about what is known about autism, thriving with autism through art, and finding each individual’s unique gift to the world. Patrons of the podcast at all levels also will receive a discount for anything purchased through Zenaviv’s store now through August 31, 2019!  If you’re not a patron and want to sign up, check out the Patreon page.

Harish is an autism dad who shares his personal story and journey that led to creating this online platform where artists with unique abilities can be taken seriously about their work. In this episode you will discover:  How Harish’s experience as a father led to the creation of Zenaviv and has helped so many families. How siblings can help provide encouragement and grow in their own right as a result of living with autism. Biomedical interventions that helped both of our children grow and develop more effectively. How to encourage your child’s talents as an artist.
