(Find me at 50 Watts Books.) Drawing Autism is an incredible collection of artwork by people diagnosed with autism, from teenage amateurs to established artists.

Unlike many of the books I feature on 50 Watts, this one is in print. This post features a small selection of my favorite images from the book, along with some quotes by the artists. Publisher's description: Over the last decade autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become an international topic of conversation, knowing no racial, ethnic, or social barriers. Behavior analyst and educator Mullin has assembled a staggering array of work from established artists like Gregory Blackstock and Jessica Park, to the unknown but no less talented. Their creations, coupled with artist interviews, comprise a fascinating and compelling book that serves to educate and inspire anyone who knows someone diagnosed with ASD. Donna Williams, The Outsider What was the inspiration for this piece? "The Outsider" is about joining in from the periphery. None. How You Can Help Foster Children.
