About Me
Hello world! My name is Sareena Kalinani and I am the creator of EmpowerHerSpectrum: Embracing Neurodiversity in the East. As an Asian woman I am inspired to shed light on the pervasive stigma that often casts a shadow over mental health in my community. It's an endeavor rooted in personal experience, as I know what it is like to struggle with mental health and have neurodivergent relatives, empathy, and a deep desire for change. I believe that by openly addressing the challenges, myths, and biases surrounding autism in Asian cultures, we can pave the way for greater understanding, compassion, and acceptance. Our voices, as Asian women who have seen this stigma firsthand, are powerful instruments of change, and I am determined to use them to break the silence and foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals on the autism spectrum within our community. Join me in this exploration of untold stories, resilience, and hope, as we work together to create a brighter, stigma-free future.
