Brushing away autism stereotypes
Quote:
Sanjna Srikanth, a young Bengaluru-based artist, is like no other girl her age. She has been raising money for charities through the sale of her paintings from the time she was only a teenager. Sanjna's paintings have toured the World Economic Forum, and, in 2014, she received the International Diana award from the British prime minister, given in recognition of young people.
Sanjna is also unlike most other 21-year-olds. She has achieved all this while living with communication challenges diagnosed as being caused by autism.
"Everyday is a challenge for Sanjna, but from a young age she has been determined to inspire her peers to be their best," says her mother.
