: Raja Chinaya realised something was amiss with his firstborn, Naavalan Raja, when he was two years old.He would often throw tantrums in shopping malls during family outings, which drew stares from strangers.
“After he was diagnosed with autism, we were able to teach him to speak in full sentences, but it took time.” However, Naavalan’s incidents of wailing on the floor in public when he was younger is a memory that Raja still recalls until today. At six, Naavalan joined his first relay race with four other participants and completed it in one hour and 30 minutes.
When Naavalan moved to secondary school, he became more independent. He had an aptitude for English, Science and Art. He also learned foreign languages, including Japanese, Spanish and French through YouTube.
