Betty Jarusiewicz has autism—and so do her three children and some of her grandchildren, as she says in a May 22nd article in the Ocean County Observer. Jarusiewicz, a neuron therapist, was speaking to parents and teachers at Lanoka Harbor Elementary School library in Ocean County, New Jersey. 12-year-old Joshua Tamburro also has autism and […]
I used to wistfully wonder if Charlie, whose interest in colors and shapes is longstanding from his youngest days, might have some affinity for art—-for looking at it, and perhaps even for making it.

One more day to go for Autism Awareness Month 2007 which has seen more than its share of stories on autism—let us hope that, once the “official” month for autism is past, we will still be hearing regularly about autism in the news. One hopes.

In an interview on Make Money Not Art, Cati Vaucelle describes herself as a “knowledge shopper”; as a researcher, an inventor, and an artist. Vaucelle has studied philosophy and fine arts, computational linguistics and psychology, engineer and architecture in Paris and, in the US, at MIT and Harvard.

It is a rare moment when I am able to connect autism with what I teach, Classics—that is, the ancient Greek and Latin languages, literatures, and culture–in my classroom. I chanced upon this video—perhaps you have seen it—-of Stephen Wilshire, an autistic artist who can look at a building, or a cityscape, and draw it […]

Urville is a city envisioned and drawn out by Gilles Trehin, who has autism. Diagnosed as a child, Trehin became obsessed with buildings after his family moved from France to the US. He first built Lego skyscrapers (see these here) then realized that a “‘city cannot only be a […]
