On May 30, 2022, socialite Pritty Vishy took to her social media pages to share a heartfelt post about her younger sister, who was born with Autism.
According to Vishy, her sister's Autism diagnosis has not changed her perception of her sibling's abilities. 'Yes, she's my baby sister and she is abled differently but that doesn't make me feel she isn't able,' Vishy wrote.
However, Vishy's mother initially struggled with accepting the diagnosis. 'When my mum knew she has AUTISM she questioned God not knowing she will be a blessing to us,' Vishy shared.
Despite the initial struggles, Vishy's mother has since made peace with the diagnosis and is now comfortable raising her daughter without fear of judgment.
Through her post, Vishy aims to raise awareness about Autism and dispel common misconceptions about the condition. 'Maybe because she knew how others would look and point fingers at her; mostly because they're not educated on what Autism means and why it should not be considered as a mental disability,' Vishy wrote.
By sharing her family's story, Vishy hopes to promote understanding and acceptance of individuals with Autism.
