India, April 2 -- On World Autism Awareness Day, experts are urging a shift in focus, from simply recognising autism to actively supporting those who live with it. Many autistic individuals grow up feeling "different" without understanding why, often facing labels such as "rude" or "difficult" for behaviours that stem from sensory or communication differences. Awareness, experts say, helps reframe these perceptions with empathy. Behaviour coaches Karina and Mel, who run Happy Bee Behavior, offer a simple analogy: think of every brain as a phone running a different operating system. They explain that autism is simply a different operating system, writing, "Some 'phones' have their volume set high; so sounds feel overwhelming. Some take longer to open apps, so communication can load differently. But you wouldn't throw the phone away, you'd adapt it. Lower the brightness, close extra apps, add a protective case. Autistic people don't need fixing, they need support that fits their system. Different operating systems. Still powerful."...
