Aps - Aarav Bangur

Aps is Aarav’s mum. When Aarav was diagnosed, she had no idea what was in store (probably still doesn’t). Parenting has been her toughest challenge; it's also been the most exciting adventure showing her life’s less-explored layers. Her simple wish is to help Aarav (and others like him) to access and enjoy a fulfilling life.

Aarav is a 11 year old boy who was diagnosed with autism when he was close to 3 years old. He does familiar things in unfamiliar ways. He loves hanging out with people, but doesn’t know how to play or engage. He talks repetitively about some topics, with nothing new to say. Obsessed with what’s happening “next”, he is often not able to enjoy the “now”.

Oddly normal, just a little bit extra.
