Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Director of the ARC, said:
“The more opportunities we have for the talents of people with autism and Asperger Syndrome to be enjoyed, the better. This website reminds us that autism spectrum conditions do not just entail disability (which they do) but are often accompanied by excellent attention to detail and a fresh way of looking at the environment. It is wonderful that artists with autism benefit directly and can make their contribution to charitably supporting scientific research into autism”.
The website and exhibition is dedicated to promotion and sale of artwork produced by people on the autistic spectrum.
