I'm pretty sure he would be unable to recognize those drawings as faces, because it would be all lines (he would need color to differentiate it). It is really interesting to note the things his attention is drawn to, though. White space. Horizontal lines. Movement. <br /><br />Our kids are fascinating.

Much like true writers can capture the heart of something with fewer words than us mere mortals. I look forward to this month of your writing.anymommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317877435130121894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670201345837905864.post-88079967977574879682012-04-02T12:15:30.080-04:002012-04-02T12:15:30.080-04:00An artist and an autist.

I think it is very calming for him. He mostly draws out imaginary scenes from video games, so it's a whole other thing entirely, but I love to see him use that cool imagination of his to create.Stimeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09685801693683588805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670201345837905864.post-25078088967019484122012-03-31T23:40:12.975-04:002012-03-31T23:40:12.975-04:00stunning. absolutely stunning. do you suppose he&#...stunning. absolutely stunning. do you suppose he'd let ethan write a narrative in which these characters would figure? a joint-authored comic? What your post makes me think about is spectrums: the wide range of persons who make up our world...and that over the centuries, the spectrum widens and widens (so in the west the spectrum was only white men, then white women, then people of color, then gays & lesbians, eetc etcc..) maybe our kids will live a world where the ENTIRE spectrum is available to them, including austism...deborah quinnhttp://www.mannahattamamma.comnoreply@blogger.com
