Autism, actually
The Hindu
A series of expert articles about autism spectrum disorders, how to identify and understand them, what it means to live with them, and how people with these conditions can live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
In this ongoing series of articles written by experts working with children, The Hindu will explore what autism spectrum disorders are and aren’t, how to identify and understand them, what it means to live with them, and how people with these conditions can live meaningful and fulfilling lives. They are aimed at families of children with autism. But given the gaps in data about neurodevelopmental disorders and the uneven, sometimes misguided, perception of what autism really is, the articles are also a common gateway into various aspects of this widely misunderstood condition.

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
