Rather than approaching the art of precocious young artists with
autism as enigmatic and symptomatic, their work is explored as
having its origin in human physiology and in the intrinsic human
need for meaning. The narrative images in these young artists'
exceptional art serve as both evidence and focus, allowing us to
see the commonalities of all art and image-making. No art has been
considered more enigmatic than that of young children with autism,
for their often extremely early drawings intrigue viewers with
their vivid, visually-based, perspective emphasis. Such art, often
spontaneously produced by artists frequently considered retarded,
is difficult to understand within the usual constructs of drawing
pedagogy that emphasizes the necessity of practice and experience
for mastery. However, it is a useful means of expressing one's
interior self and of sharing with others a tale of one's own
creation. Finally, this expression forms enduring links with other
people in the common human language of lines and forms.
