Through Journals and Journeys we aim to incorporate art therapy – with an emphasis on visual journaling – to foster a culture of self–expression for autistic individuals who are uniquely marginalized in our society and often unable to find spaces to voice themselves. We believe that a nuanced understanding of ASD and a compassionate approach towards those diagnosed with this condition would facilitate change in the conventional mindset that regards them as ‘dependent’, and allowing them space to reflect on their own art and engage with the public on their own terms would make for an empowering experience.
