It's funny and amazing how the smallest thoughts can send you down the most interesting rabbit hole.
The last thing I googled was "autism" I wasn't researching for an assignment or anything - I was just lying in bed, reflecting on how the brain works, and the word popped into my head.
Its something that has always piqued my interest - the way our bodies, and especially our minds, function in such complex and unique way. Naturally, I reached for my phone and opened Google, like I always do when curiosity strikes. Google has become my go-to whenever I want to understand something better.
Within seconds of typing that single word "autism" I was scrolling through article after article, reading about how autism affects the brain, behaviour, and how people experience the world differently.
I learned how autism affects brain development, how some people with autism are hypersensitive to touch or sound, how it influences communication and behaviour, and how it can present in countless different ways. What really stood out for me was the fact that autism isn't a one-size-fits-all condition. It's a spectrum and no two people experience it the same way.
What started as a simple search quickly turned into a deep dive. I ended up reading about other things, early signs in children, and even ongoing research on potential causes and treatment. I stumbled onto blogs written by people with autism, and their personal stories added so much depth and understanding that textbooks alone could never provide. It transformed my search from being just a medical overview.
That's the beauty of Google - it makes information accessible in ways that are quick, diverse, and easy to follow. One minute you're reading about something, and the next you're watching a video on it or reading someone's lived experience. You don't need to be an expert. All you need is curiosity.
And honestly, that's what I love most about Google. Whether it's a complex topic like autism or something as random as "why do we yawn?" It's always ready with answers, suggestions, and new paths to explore.
With one search, I can access medical articles, videos, Q&As, research papers and more. It's kind of like having a library, a teacher, and a conversation, all in one place. Whenever I want to understand something, Google is the first place I go. I often find myself turning to Google whenever a question pops into my head - especially about how the human body works.
I once watched a YouTube video few years back titled "how a wonder is born" while browsing about babies on Google. And during my search on autism, I found myself rewatching that video. It shows the entire process of how a baby is formed - from sperm and egg to birth - without leaving out a single day development .
Google always has something for you - articles, YouTube videos, medical resources. How one simple search can turn into an entire journey.
