Summary Annotation Explores the work of young artists with autism and describes how they create narrative meaning through visual means, which challenges current thinking on their images and suggests the importance of art for other children as well.
Annotation The early, spontaneous art of young artists with autism tells a story, a narrative described in the language of visual structure and forms. Not only do these artists inform us of their world in their images, they tell us of our own visual possibilities and meaning-making capacities, too.
