"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”

The author, Arvind Kumar owing to severe speech impairment caused by Autism, wanted to communicate with a diverse audience. The mode of communication with his audience was through a Question and Answer format. The audience would put him a question, which he would then attempt to answer. His answers range from the deeply philosophical, to the humourous, and sometimes, also with a childlike candour saying "I do not know". The renowned guest speakers who spoke at the book launch were unanimous in their praise for the author, calling his book a work of genius. This book offers a window to society into the mind of an autistic person, and what all autistic people can achieve. Hopefully, the book will inculcate in society empathy and the sense of inclusiveness for the specially-abled.
