About Sidharth

Sid was born in Sydney to Indian parents. He lives in Sydney in his own home.

Writing in prose and poetry are his passion. “If It were left to me” he says ‘I would have written several books”. It is not always unto him as he has to write by typing on a keyboard overcoming the challenges of dyspraxia and attentional issues. Writing is effortful but rewarding.

He enjoys music and vigorous physical activity like working out in a gym, bushwalking, swimming and skating. He has a natural aptitude for mathematics and poetry and also loves to read history. Sid enjoys the company of friends, eating out and going away on long road journeys to visit places of interest and to hang out with friends.

In the past year Sid has become more involved in organisations that support people with disability. He works with the Council for Intellectual Disability (CID), Diversity and Disability Alliance(DDA), Multicultural Disability Advocacy Association (MDAA) and AGOSCI.
Sid believes that it is important for everyone to understand autism and alternative communication methods. He believes that the voices of persons severely affected by autism need to be heard. They can offer valuable insights that are vital for research and education, and for ensuring that all people are able to live full and productive lives.
