DRAWING AUTISM A wonderful celebration of the artistry and self-expression of individuals diagnosed with autism and a window into the world as they see it.
Over the last decade autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become an international topic of conversation, knowing no racial, ethnic or social barriers. Behaviour analyst Jill Mullin has assembled a staggering array of work, from established artists like Gregory L. Blackstock and Jessica Park to the unknown but no less talented. Their creations, coupled with artist interviews, comprise a fascinating and compelling book that will educate and inspire anyone who knows someone diagnosed with ASD. Mullin’s introduction and the foreword by bestselling author Temple Grandin provide an overview of autism and advocate for nurturing the talents, artistic and otherwise, of those with autism.
JILL MULLIN (MA, MSEd, BCBA) is a New York City-based behaviour analyst who has been working with individuals with ASD since 2000.
With a foreword by bestselling author, professor and autism activist Temple Grandin.
‘Drawing Autism highlights an “area where individuals with autism can have great abilities”. Jill Mullin, a clinical therapist, explores the recurring themes in art made by people with autism.’ New York Times Book Review ‘A celebration of the artistry and self-expression found in artwork by people diagnosed with autism . . . Stunning.’ Atlantic ‘This book is a testament to the power of art to reveal the inner world of people living with ASD.’ Publishers Weekly £16.99

Drawing Autism celebrates the artistry and self-expression of individuals diagnosed with autism while also serving as an accessible point of entry into understanding how ASD manifests itself. Autism is known as a ‘spectrum disorder’ because no two diagnoses are exactly the same; however, there are characteristic traits of ASD. Through their art, the contributors exhibit unique perspectives on how they see the world and their places in it.
