Dating/love/sex for individuals with developmental disabilities. My thoughts are very conflicted on this topic. On one hand, I think it is very risky and one can be taken advantage of. On the other, who am I to take this precious right away from someone? Who am I to judge when I myself wouldn't want that life? So, I am going to write a story. I can't promise that it will be morally or ethically right but here it is nonetheless. All the critiques and even hate is welcome this time. I don't want to want on eggshells around you all and just write the way words wish to flow in my head. I hope you enjoy the journey with me:
Madhubala Malik has lived her entire life as a label: lower end of the autism spectrum. She was deemed to amount to nothing in life the day she was diagnosed. Her own mother felt burdened by her. Not that anyone blamed her. What could a clueless human do when their child doesn't develop language into their teens? Then, one day, he came into her life like a saving grace. Rishabh Kundra, a young teenage heart throb debuted in the Indian project for Disney. Trishan took Madhu to for a trip to the premiere and for the first time in her sixteen years on earth, she talked. WORDS CAME OUT of her beautifully crinkled lips. She smiled, laughed, cried as the boy on the screen acted his heart out.
Her father took note and flew her out to New York. She's been acting with famous art film stars to the likes of Tilda Swinton. Yup, she may not have the social skills, intellect, or wit of movie star but her genius talent for method acting has pulled her out of the rut of a life set up for her. The tales of her ability have spread far and wide.
Rishabh Kundra wants her as the lead for his latest project But will it be easy to converse let alone convince a woman that makes him so uncomfortable?
