Mid Day talks about our children-led initiative launched to mark Autism Awareness Month, is using storytelling to promote acceptance for neuro-diverse children
Mugdha Kalra reached out to Nidhi Mishra, founder of Bookosmia (smell of books), a children-led creative platform. Mishra was eager to add a new dimension to her platform, which publishes content from kids across 105 regions. Not That Different is the outcome of this collaboration and was launched in April. It comprises a comic strip, in which Bookosmia’s 12-year-old persona Sara introduces her readers to her new friend, Madhav, a child on the autism spectrum. Through Sara’s journey of meeting and accepting someone a little different, one can understand what being neuro-diverse entails.
