Art created by autistic artists to capture the autistic experience
Autistic art representing the natural diversity of human minds
Autistic art is artwork created by autistic artists that captures or conveys a variety of autistic experiences.
According to a 2021 article in Cognitive Processing, autistic artists with improved linguistic and communication skills often show a greater degree of originality and attention to detail than their neurotypical counterparts, with a positive correlation between artistic talent and high linguistic functioning.[1][2] Autistic art is often considered outsider art.[3] Art by autistic artists has long been shown in separate venues from artists without disabilities.[3] The works of some autistic artists have featured in art publications and documentaries and been exhibited in mainstream galleries. Although autistic artists seldom received formal art education in the past, recent inclusivity initiatives have made it easier for autistic artists to get a formal college education.[4] The Aspergers/Autism Network's AANE Artist Collaborative is an example of an art organization for autistic adults.[5]
Many therapeutic, social, and interventional organizations today use art therapy to socialize and promote mental and emotional growth in autistic children.[6][7][8]
