«Painted Autism» is a book that collects drawings of autistic people, that is, people who suffer from a lack of communication and social interaction and a tendency to repetitive actions *. There are works by teenagers and famous adult artists. In all the pictures — an unusual view of the world and their place in it. The author of the book, Jill Mullin, an educator and behavioral analyst, notes that this edition (which, in addition to drawings, also includes interviews with their authors) helps us better understand the world of these people and see how this largely unexplored disease can manifest itself in different ways. The most interesting works from the book (it is sold at www.amazon.com) were published on his blog by passionate bibliophile Will Schofield.
