Autism: Beyond the Clichés

Autism [...] is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior.

Awareness campaigns have multiplied over the past decades as prevalence numbers grew, pushing autism into the public spotlight and increasing awareness. This portfolio attempts to show a few autistic children as themselves, individual in their person as well as their autism. My hope is that it can help create more strands in a web of support, acceptance and understanding for the many people, children or adults, affected with autism.
