Hi, I am Yogesh!
Water is my best friend. Drinking it, playing with it, or even saving foam in my hands, it always calms me down. I also like to tear paper or leaves. You want to be my friend? You can gently massage my hands.
Heat can make me anxious. Sometimes I cry, pinch, or bite when I feel upset. Sand, squeezing a ball, or being told gently what’s coming next help me. Making choices is possibly the most difficult thing. Is it the same for you?
But I am not just a boy with autism.
I am Yogesh. I am an Aquaman. I am a painter.
