How is neurodiversity perceived in India?
Read an insightful research paper (HERE) by Riddhi Atri, a psychology student in India, exploring this question. Last spring, Riddhi worked with Beth during an internship, where she initiated a research project examining perceptions of neurodiversity in India, particularly in the city of Bangalore. Their collaboration built on a connection formed in 2019 when Beth traveled to India, met Riddhi, and choreographed a dance for Arunima Gupta’s production at The Floor.
Riddhi Atri is currently a psychology student at Inventure Academy in grade 11. She has simultaneously been learning ballet for 8 years, alongside other dance forms. When not dancing she enjoys reading and writing. Riddhi is interested in research within the areas of developmental psychology, and neuroscience. She is excited to share her first study and write-up on neurodiveristy in India with a US-based audience.
