在過(guò)去的十年中，自閉癥這個(gè)社會(huì)議題引發(fā)了很多人的關(guān)注。每150個(gè)兒童中，就有1個(gè)患有自閉癥。?《Drawing Autism》一書(shū)中，收錄了全世界50位自閉癥人士的繪畫(huà)和拼貼作品，試圖通過(guò)這些作品來(lái)窺探他們看待世界的獨(dú)特視角。?他們中有如Gregory Blackstock，Jessica Park、葉平連（Ping Lian Yeak）等?成就卓越的藝術(shù)家，也有很多名字不被大家所知道的天才，例如之前介紹過(guò)那位，喜歡畫(huà)鳥(niǎo)的13歲的荷蘭小畫(huà)家David Barth。
Over the last decade autism has become an international topic of conversation. Knowing no racial, ethnic or social barriers, today autism is diagnosed in 1 in every 150 children. Drawing Autism celebrates the artistry and self-expression found in the drawings, paintings and collages created by individuals diagnosed with autism. The work of over 50 international contributors exhibits unique perspectives on how these individuals see the world and their places in it. Author Jill Mullin, a behavior analyst and educator, has assembled a staggering array of work from established artists like Gregory Blackstock, Jessica Park and Ping Lian Yeak to the unknown but no less talented. Their creations, coupled with artist interviews, comprise a fascinating and compelling book that makes visual how autism manifests differently in every diagnosis.
