My speech at the “2nd South Asian Conference for Autism” on 16 Jan 2008 at Delhi, India
Hello everyone
I was invited to th above conference by Action for Autism in Delhi, India. I spoke on “unconventional strategies on living with Asperger’s Syndrome” and Mrs Rukhsana Shah from Lahore spoke on autism “Awareness in Pakistan”. Both our speeches at the conference have been uploaded to Youtube.

My speech as seen on youtube is not complete, about 2 minutes of the end are missing due to a camera problem, however I will get the full video in a months time and will upload it. The best part was the Q&A session at the end of the speech, people there were happy that i was there as a representative of South Asia, there were 2 other Aspergers from India, and one from America, Dr Stephen Shore of Autism Society of America.
