How Autistic Artists See the World | Mental Health | DISCOVER Magazine

Here is an amazing article in Discover Magazine about how an artist with Autism sees their world. Share in the artistic vision of artists with Autism and how they translate their art. Artist Jessica Park reports that she uses 7 shades of black, 9 shades of green, 5 shades of violet, among other colors. "The shades are applied according to a diagram that she holds in her mind from the beginning". Truly amazing.
