Dr. Sameeta Mercy Prabhu Podcast

Did you know that approximately 1 in 100 children are diagnosed with autism? Autism is not a disease it is a different way in which a child thinks, communicates, socializes, and experiences the world around them.

In this important awareness message, Dr. Sameeta Mercy explains the realities of autism, clears common misconceptions, and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and intervention. Parents often wonder whether autism is caused by parenting styles, screen time, or environmental factors. The answer is no autism is something a child is born with.

The good news is that with early intervention, appropriate therapies, supplements, and medical support, when necessary, children with autism can lead meaningful, productive, and fulfilling lives.
