The Girl Who Flaps Her Hands
What constitutes a “Perfect” Family? What is being “normal”?
Why is it so difficult to accept when you are told that someone you love is not “normal”?
When that someone is your own daughter, you start questioning a lot things in life.
Meet Ishanvi, a little girl on the spectrum who single handedly changed the lives of her parents by being “different”.
But first, it is time to meet her parents and understand their love for each other years before Ishanvi is born.
This is a journey of how one family has navigated autism despite the challenges. How their journey has positively impacted families across the globe. Meghali narrates the nine life lessons she has learnt following the diagnosis of her daughter. Every lesson is complemented by a story from her life.
The story follows her family’s struggle to accept the reality. In an attempt to rediscover their new normal, the family ends up having bigger conversations with society raising a much needed awareness. 2 years later, they wonder if their second child is also on the spectrum, or if their fear is taking over.
