What if autism isn’t something to be fixed, but something that quietly reveals how the human brain processes the world?In this episode of the Mind Wiring series, I sit down with Dr. Mohita Srivastava, neuroscientist and founder of the Cognitome Program, to unpack autism beyond labels, stereotypes, or surface-level narratives. We talk about brain wiring, sensory overload, empathy, masking, late diagnosis, and why so many autistic experiences go unseen, especially when someone appears to be “coping well.”This isn’t a checklist episode. It’s a conversation about what neurodivergence actually looks like in real life, and what it exposes about how narrowly we’ve designed our systems around one kind of brain.If you’ve ever questioned what “normal” really means, this one will stay with you.Listen to the full conversation.
