Throwback Episode 229: Poet, Author, “Levitator Of Language”: Sid Ghosh (w/Mom Dr. Vaish Sarathy - Originally aired 10/17/23)

Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month, friends!! We’re celebrating BIG this month with some incredible self-advocates chatting about everything from entrepreneurship to marriage! Today, we’re excited to have poet, author, and “levitator of language,” Sid Ghosh on the show! He describes himself as, “just your autistic boy next door with Down syndrome!” His Mom, Dr. Vaish Sarathy joins us as Sid’s communication partner and also shares their journey of using spelling to communicate with the world. This incredible sixteen-year-old is the author of two chapbooks: Give a Book and Proceedings of the Full Moon Rotary Club. It’s a unique opportunity and honor to feature a non-speaker on a podcast and for the first time in The Lucky Few Podcast history, we’re offering a ⁠VIDEO version⁠ of this episode! Friends, whatever version you choose, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
