Autistic art

Autistic people have various differences in brain regions involving emotional processing, social cognition, face recognition, and executive functioning. They may hyper- and hypo-sensitive to sensory stimuli, even to the extent that they can't participate in normal social activities. For example, a child with autism may not be able to attend a movie due to the crowded and noisy environment.[4] On the other hand, this kind of sensory hyper sensitivity may make an autistic person much more perceptive than an ordinary person. The extreme attention to detail that is common in autistic people may result talent in mathematics, art or other fields.[5] Autistic persons who have talent in art are often outsiders in the art community. Unlike with common art, there is seldom any tradition or academic criteria in their creations. Each has their own style of art which, which may present the inner world of an autistic person.[6]
