About

My name is Devaki pronounced Deeva-key. I am a writer-philosopher, singer-songwriter, and autistic elder sharing wisdom, insight, and lived experiences through an unconventional lens.

I’ve never believed there is such a thing called normal and that’s because normal is only a myth projected by society. I discovered I was autistic when I was 63 and was diagnosed with Autism level 2 at 64 in November 2022.

I was adamant most of my life to be myself even though I realised I wasn’t like other people. That didn’t bother me, only that I was abused and ridiculed repeatedly by society, and a parent for being different. I tried to mask my differences and even practised in front of the mirror to look like so called normal people. I stopped because I was very bad at it, and it didn’t feel right. The path I took came with many consequences but losing my true essence was not an option.

I want to see a world that is ruled by compassion and one that does not enable those who intentionally create suffering for others. I am living my life mainly reclusive on my own terms thus to distance from the toxic culture in society and take care of the sensory issues that overwhelm me as an autistic person.
