  • Very informative, positive, loved it

    This is so informative and eye-opening. Reservoir does great work and has really brought a lot of awareness and information on mental health related issues in India. Shreya keeps you engaged and paying attention throughout and it really helps your own understanding of mental health issues, yours and others. There's funny anecdotes, and a lot of positivity. Also Shreya sounds amazing, like a ray of sunshine in people's lives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Is The Disability Cliff? Part 1 with Cammie McGovern
Q: Could you describe why it's called the Disability Cliff?
The 'disability cliff' refers to the abrupt end of school-based supports as autistic young people turn 18 to 22, with federally mandated transition services ending and insufficient adult programs or guaranteed funding to replace them, leading to a sudden gap in services and opportunities.
Building Inclusive Communities, Part 2 with Jennifer Kaufman
Q: How can educators better involve parents who face roadblocks in engaging with their child's education?
Ask parents what type of communication works for them, whether daily updates, email cadence, or texts, and tailor the process to keep them informed and engaged while minimizing effort barriers.
Building Inclusive Communities, Part 2 with Jennifer Kaufman
Q: What are some misconceptions about autism that still exist within the education system?
Many assume autism is something to be cured or that it requires correction, when in fact it represents a different operating system that needs supportive, developmentally appropriate strategies rather than discipline.
How to Increase Autism Representation in the Media, with Dr. Kerry Magro | Autism Tips & Tools
Q: What exactly does your role entail? How involved are you in the writing process when they're developing the characters?
I review the script from pre-production onward, offering notes on how to portray autism more authentically, focusing on mannerisms, stimming, body language, tone, and facial expressions; I assist with casting and shadow characters during production, and later help with marketing to the autism community in post-production.
Grandparenting on the Spectrum, Part 1 with Jennifer Kaufman
Q: What practical steps can grandparents take to avoid adding stress?
Offer specific, tangible help (e.g., babysitting, covering therapy costs if possible) and communicate clearly with the parents, preferably when everyone is calm, to set boundaries without judgment.
