Autistic Boy Uses Art to Speak His Mind June 10, 2010
For one autistic kid, art gets him talking.
Seven-year-old Jalyn Weston loves sharing his artwork with anyone who wants to see. This summer, one of his drawings will be displayed in a national traveling exhibit with the 2010 International VSA festival, The International Organization on Arts and Disability.
His mom Pam explained the importance of art in Jalyn’s life since being diagnosed with high-functioning autism.
“I want to make sure that we never forget to display our ability. Getting speech for him was everything,” she said. “And art gives him something to talk about, and it focuses on something that he is good at, and I think it has made so much difference.”
