Siri Speaks - My Name is Siri - Designs By Siri

SIRI CHETTIPALLY’S BIO

I am Siri, a non-speaking person with Autism, who uses a letter board for communication. I am a college student and aspire to become a Neuroscientist. I am also an advocate for non-speakers and believe in innovation.

I was diagnosed at 3, treated with ABA and placed in special-education classes through high school. Although I faced challenges in school due to lack of communication and behaviors.

Recently, I made a big leap in my communication by using a Letter Board. Now I am able to express and work on my life-long desire of becoming a neuroscientist! Currently, I am attending College of San Mateo, CA.

My inspiring story has been shared in magazines, TV and now it has been made into a documentary film, “My Name Is Siri”. It was nominated for Emmy Awards and has been shown in film festivals worldwide and on PBS. I enjoy exercising, boxing, skating, surfing and horse riding. I believe in innovation and advice several startups in the Autism space.
