00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:02.719
[contemplative synth music]

00:00:07.056 --> 00:00:08.474
[car honking]

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.800
[traffic noises]

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.600
My name is Pranav and I am from Delhi.

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.680
I am 34 and I have ADHD and I am autistic.

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:39.560
With change in weather,

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.200
I have a lot of sensory issue.

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.680
But at the end of the day,

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:50.400
I want to be close to people who understand me,

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:52.920
with whom I am comfortable,

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.920
with whom I can unmask.

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:07.720
A recent study said that

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:11.000
people of Delhi are losing 10 years of their life.

00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.880
Add to that that you are a neurodivergent,

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.400
you probably are losing 10 more years,

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.240
because of the extreme stress and all.

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:24.400
Living with all these kinds of stresses,

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:31.000
it has a very severe impact on your 
mental health and your physical health.

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.600
I am 34, I am losing hair. 

00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:40.000
They are all gray white.

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.880
As a neurodivergent person,

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:45.000
extreme heat causes a lot of disruption.

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.000
It dysregulates your body,

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:56.280
it irritates you,
and it makes you more agitated.

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.199
Especially when you have to travel on the road,

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.800
it just becomes unbearable.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.280
Without listening to the issues that

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.600
neurodivergent folks are facing

00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:16.320
on a daily basis because of change in climate

00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:20.800
we cannot expect any concrete result.

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.520
Any kind of adaptation or mitigation activity,

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.520
whether it is related to 
disasters or climate change,

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.400
just make it disability inclusive.
