Roshan VS is a neurodivergent technologist, educator, and founder of YoctoAble. He isn’t just the founder of YoctoAble — he is YoctoAble. Autistic. ADHD. Brilliant. Brave. A quiet rebel who dared to imagine a world where neurodivergent individuals wouldn’t have to adapt, because the world would finally adapt to them.
Born into a world that often misunderstood him, Roshan turned isolation into innovation. From classroom chaos to tech triumphs, he discovered that technology was his ocean — a place to breathe, thrive, and shine. Through every meltdown, misfit moment, and masked day, he built YoctoAble — not just a platform, but a safe, sensory-friendly universe for people like him.
A late-diagnosed autistic individual (initially identified with a learning disability), Roshan’s brilliance was recognized early. At just 14, he was featured in local media for creating inclusive solutions and cutting-edge technology, while many of his peers were still finding their way.
Today, Roshan is a technologist with expertise in AI, LLMs, and inclusive design, an educator, and a public speaker on neurodiversity.

Quiet Kid to Change-Maker: My Neurodivergent Journey
VS Roshan is a neurodivergent technologist, educator, and founder of YoctoAble. A late- self diagnosed autistic, he turned isolation into innovation, creating inclusive tech and advocacy.In this talk, I challenge the misconceptions and stereotypes around autism by sharing my own story as a late self-diagnosed autistic individual. From being underestimated as a quiet kid to navigating burnout, masking, and misdiagnosis, I bring to light the hidden struggles neurodivergent people face—struggles often overlooked or misunderstood.
I’ll also speak about the importance of special interests—how they are too often dismissed as quirks or obsessions, when in reality they can become powerful sources of learning, resilience, and even employment opportunities for neurodivergent individuals. Drawing from my own love of nature, I’ll explore what it has taught me about difference, balance, and thriving in a world that doesn’t always accommodate us.
This talk isn’t just my journey—it’s a call to reimagine how we treat neurodivergent people in education, workplaces, and society. By supporting our passions, by valuing our ways of thinking, we can create a culture where every individual has the chance to succeed.
