Autism, Art and Me: July 2011
http://autismartandme.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 July 2011. Autism - I'm sorry Mikey! His laughter means acceptance of my authority. (Yeah, dream on.). Thursday, 21 July 2011. Autism - Signing "Please". Painting Mikey, as I am sure I have gone on and on about, is devilishly tricky. And I am not a portrait artist! Mikey very often does use the signs he has learnt appropriately and his receptive language skills have blossomed but then there are times when his mind seems clouded, foggy as if Autism wraps a wet towel around his brain. Ok then...

Autism, Art and Me: Artist know your subject!
http://autismartandme.blogspot.com/2011/07/artist-know-your-subject.html
Thursday, 7 July 2011. Artist know your subject! Its good to see this in the larger format Samantha. I love black and white. It seems to give a photograph an edge over colour and has that timeless quality. That water looks like icicles doesnt it? You must have spent ages in anticipation of pressing the button just at the right time. 8 July 2011 at 17:54. Still Waters Run Deep? 8 July 2011 at 18:30. This is an amazing photograph. 30 July 2011 at 16:19. 30 July 2011 at 17:03. Autism, Art and Me. I slowly d...

Autism, Art and Me: Autism - I'm sorry Mikey!
http://autismartandme.blogspot.com/2011/07/autism-im-sorry-mikey.html
Wednesday, 27 July 2011. Autism - I'm sorry Mikey! His laughter means acceptance of my authority. (Yeah, dream on.). Samantha, its not the Off switch you need, its the Pause and Rewind buttons. If you were to pause and rewind, on playback you would probably see yourself doing eveything you should have done and be entirely without any sense of guilt. You should not be saying, Im sorry Mikey. It is us who should be saying, Im so very sorry Samantha that the support you needed to ease your. His bedroom wall...

Mikey has looked at it many times, then goes to look at himself in the mirror, gets distracted and ends up pulling silly faces at his own reflection. Sweet kid.never a dull moment!

Autism, Art and Me: Autism - Strangely Beautiful
http://autismartandme.blogspot.com/2011/10/autism-strangely-beautiful.html
Saturday, 1 October 2011. Autism - Strangely Beautiful. I see you, Michael. I watch you watching her, in the mirror. Hurts you to look directly at your baby sister, doesn't it? Through the babies toy mirror, you watch her, see her every move, for the longest time you just watch her. Baby sticks her tongue out and blows a raspberry at her teddy bear, you bury your face into your hands and smile. Small pearls of pure joy for me! Brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful. 1 October 2011 at 12:52. Thank You Bird, ...
