By understanding both perspectives, we aim to shed light on the full ecosystem surrounding autism.

Silent Hands, Loud Truth
In a small town wrapped in foggy mornings and quiet streets, lived a boy named Haris. He was eight years old, with soft brown eyes and a silence deeper than the sea. No one really knew him. His classmates barely noticed his presence. Teachers marked his attendance, but he was just a shadow in the corner—always quiet, always watching, always hiding.

When the Silence Screams: A Tale of Hidden Truths and Dark Lies

It showed a smiling woman, vibrant and alive — a stark contrast to the cold, empty eyes of the victim in the autopsy report she had just read. The woman’s name was Evelyn Shaw.

The Body Language of Relationships
In every relationship—romantic, platonic, professional, or familial—communication is key. But not all communication happens through words. In fact, research suggests that over 60% of human communication is nonverbal, conveyed through body posture, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and tone of voice. This silent dialogue is especially powerful in intimate and emotionally charged relationships, where our bodies often speak before our minds can form a sentence.
