The UN general assembly designated April 2nd as autism awareness day. And April as autism awareness month. On this episode of buzz by the bay Anushka Jagtiani speaks to
Dr Samir Dalwai - a developmental pediatrician who has worked hard to bust myths and promote a greater understanding about this developmental behavioural disorder. His expertise is in contemporary interventions for children with special needs. Dr Dalwai says It is a misconception that a child with autism does not get better. He believes we need a different perspective to treat autism. His approach targets parents and society to make a difference in a child’s life.
In this interview he explains the red flags or early signs of autism that parents should look out for. The most common complaints that parents have is that the child isn’t speaking, he is disruptive in class, can’t sustain eye contact and does not respond to the name. He explains that in autistic individuals the neurons of the brain connect in an atypical way, making it a neuro developmental disorder. He says, one of the most important things that will bring down autism is cutting down screen time for children and making sure they get adequate sleep.

Hi, Dr Samir has focused over two points later in interview. One is screen and second is sleep hours . One is covered and second is left. Can you please share clip on second topic “sleep hours ”.
Thank you. I will try and find the clip. But I think we spoke more about screen time
Very insightful interview, thank you Dr. Samir and buzz by the bay
This was truly an insightful interview Dr. Samir. You have your finger on the pulse of the matter. Glad there are people like you who are so dedicated to the cause of children with special needs. Have seen you interact with these lovely children, have visited your center in Goregaon. The love, the care and positivity that your staff and you give to the children is touching. As a lay person,this interview helped me understand the terms like Human Engagement, the various therapies that helpless parents take up in the hope to help their child, diets, medicines available in the market,importance of limiting screen times and correcting sleep patterns. You give the confidence that given the right approach, it is possible to see improvement in behaviours and social interactions of these children. I have seen examples of children who have benefited by your treatment too. One such little angel is my neighbour!
Hoping you are able to grow your reach and help more children by your innovative and caring ways. I wish you all the best.
Dr.Samir, you have given very good suggestions on management of Autism and the role of the person giving therapy.
Dr.Vijay Bhave Pediatrician
Absolutely, Dr. Samir did a fantastic job highlighting the importance of social interaction in understanding autism. This aspect is often overlooked or misunderstood, but it's absolutely crucial in the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum. By shedding light on this fundamental aspect, Dr. Samir is contributing significantly to our collective understanding of autism and paving the way for more inclusive and supportive environments for individuals with autism. Kudos to him for bringing attention to such a vital topic!
Such an amazing interview .
Your deep knowledge, expertise, and experience are evident in every interaction, and I've seen firsthand the miracles you perform.Your dedication and compassionate approach bring hope and positive change to so many families, and I feel fortunate to have experienced it myself. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many children and their families.

Excellent talk Dr. Samir
Very well said samir sir...
Very very informative and very logical things you said here...
And a very basic and exact solution u gave that is how important social interaction is..
Thanku❤
Very well said Dr Samir. ❤My son too is undergoing NHDP and has seen great improvements over a period of time. Great Doctor with super support staff. Best wishes!!✌🏻❤🎉
Good video
How about it’s not genetic cause ? I done test it said my son autism is not genetic
Dr. Samir's insights in this video are truly enlightening! His clear and straightforward explanations make understanding autism much easier for both professionals and parents alike. What sets his approach apart is the emphasis on a holistic and collaborative treatment plan, which includes medication, therapies, and, most importantly, active involvement of parents. Emphasis on improving Child's engagement with Humans and thus following the normal developmental milestones is the key factor. It's heartening to see the positive impact this approach has had on many families. Kudos to Dr. Samir for his groundbreaking work in changing how we perceive and treat autism!
Very well and easily understandable explanation.
Echolalia does have a purpose. Its our job to decode what the script or gestalt or ohrase means, what is the child trying to communicate through that particular phrase.
Sarah I donot know whether you are a doctor or a paramedical person but I am sure that you still need to understand basic child development. The person who is speaking in the interview has been working in the field for more than a decade and has proposed a theory for his idea which is simple, scientific and in line with the current scientific knowledge and provides for a simple therapeutic model for these children.
Dr Samir
Your work in the field is pathbreaking and will definitely help these children and their families
It simply shows that we donot have to follow the west for all our problems and try to ape their treatments
Its also wrong that the child does not have the same abilities as other neurotypicals ! How ill informed can one be, being in this field. Its scary that this is a man running multiple child development centres, calling autism a problem needing to be fixed.
Mam you are entitled to your views. I don’t know if you are a medical doctor or not. But to many parents autism is a problem when their child has it. You can express your views in a decent way there’s no need to defame someone who works in this field
I understand your concern, but I'd like to clarify that recognizing differences in abilities doesn't equate to devaluing individuals. In the field of child development, we acknowledge that each child has unique strengths and challenges. Autism, for example, isn't about 'fixing a problem' but rather understanding and supporting individuals in reaching their full potential.
As someone working in child development centers, my goal is to create inclusive and supportive environments where every child's abilities are celebrated. Autism is a part of a person's identity, not something to be 'fixed,' but rather understood and supported. It's through this understanding that we can better advocate for individuals and ensure they have the resources they need to thrive.
Nowadays it has become a fashion psychiatrist talking about psychology, a paediatrician talking about therapy, especially in a subject matter where they are helpless, their science is doing nothing except diagnosis and labelling, there is no medical treatment they can offer, but they want to sit on the top of the hierarchy, where they will pass judgement on rehab or therapy which they know very little, ....what do there is a caste system everyone.....I have advice for him, better for him to understand eighteen billion neurons & their quadrillion connections....and develop some medical treatment...😂 or promote a borrowed approach...for his business plan......
Well, if you're interested in what treatment and therapy really look like in a multidisciplinary team, it might be worth taking a trip to New Horizons. That's where developmental pediatricians, therapists, educators, and more join forces to create comprehensive care plans.
It's quite the show when these experts with their eighteen billion neurons and quadrillion connections collaborate! Labels and diagnoses are just the beginning; the real magic happens when this diverse team comes together to understand and support a child's development from all angles.
So, if you're up for a tour of what's really happening beyond the diagnosis game, New Horizons might just be the eye-opener you're looking for.
I donot know whether you are a doctor or a paramedical person but I am sure that you still need to understand basic child development. The person who is speaking in the interview has been working in the field for more than a decade and has proposed a theory for his idea which is simple, scientific and in line with the current scientific knowledge and provides for a simple therapeutic model for these children.
@@ruchapanchal2571 When you talk about treatment and therapy as a multidisciplinary approach you are mistaken, its always interdisciplinary that is for you to understand. Y
@@lovneetkaur2898, We will see that in future. Things are not done by giving interviews in a free press journal. Its not about working for decades. Those who works really they don't come for interview to promote. Ask your boss to read Ayn Rand he will stop giving interview. And to you I have a advice don't act as a proxy , you have your eighteen billion neurons & their quadrillion connections, you can do much better. Ask your boss to reply then I will tell what I know about neurodevelopmental disorder. Also you need to understand paramedical is a term that is obsolete now. You should try using allied health professional instead of that.
Incorrect and offensive to neurodivergent individuals on so many levels.
