Behaviour analyst Jill Mullin has been working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder for well over a decade. Stemming from her own childhood love and interest in art, as well as from her work with children, Mullin saw how powerful simply drawing and painting were, especially for the 1 in 8 who are affected by an ASD. Through their artwork, these children become free to communicate their experiences and are able to express their innermost emotions and workings of the mind more clearly than words would have allowed.
In the visual book Drawing Autism, Mullin has put together a collection of stunning, emotional, and visually stimulating art created by children with ASD from around the world. The result is an insightful, breathtaking, and beautiful book that not only allows us to celebrate these individuals and their creativity, but it provides us with the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective and truly appreciate their emotional depth and intellect that too often gets overlooked.
You can check out some of the art contained in the book, as well as get information on how to purchase it at the links below here:
"Using artwork created by individuals diagnosed with ASD, Drawing Autism celebrates their artistry and self-expression while also serving as an accessible point of entry into understanding how ASD manifests in individuals. Autism is known as a “spectrum disorder” because no two diagnoses are exactly the same; however, there are characteristic traits of ASD. Through their art, the contributors exhibit unique perspectives on how they see the world and their places in it. The book’s seven chapters—Interaction, Individual and Societal; Repetition, Repetition, Repetition; Getting from Here to There; Bird’s Eye View; Another World; It’s All History; Art for Art’s Sake—speak directly to the core characteristics of ASD."
