Artist's Comments

Concept of autism in children.

NB: May I just thank everyone for their comments on this work. The model featured in the picture is actually mildly autistic, hence the anonymity as were her wishes.

This piece has really let me reach out to autism sufferers on DA, and even though I don't suffer from it myself, I have watched the model featured as she is very close to me and it's eerie to see somebody concentrate so hard on one thing.

So much love and thanks for everyone's support.

Wow, I did exactly the same rowing-up things as a kid. Hell, even now, sometimes. (I suspect I have AS, not confirmed though.)

Focus on your dreams and goals and work hard to become them.

This picture is lovely. I wish people could see through their eyes a little more often.
Trains and cars seem popular for autistic children maybe it's the wheels that spin or because they are by nautre in straight lines.
Sorry little side tracked there, but I really do love this picture though.

Thankyou very much for the comment. The more I look at it, the more it grows on me too. :)
