Lack of awareness about autism is the major impediment in the field of ‘autism disorder,’ tells Dr. Naveen Nagarajan, a Neuroscientist and Geneticist, University of Utah, USA, who was in Mysuru recently to deliver an awareness session on ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). An alumnus of Yuvaraja College, University of Mysore, Dr. Naveen has been a FRAXA Fellow at the Picower Institute of Learning and Memory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston.
Dr. Naveen, son of S. Nagarajan and M.S. Pushpavalli, retired Head Mistress of Royal English School, is the elder brother of Dr. Shubha Nagaraj, who serves as the Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics at NIE, Mysuru.
