Art, technology & autism
by Patricia
I was introduced to Second Life, an online virtual world, several years ago. There has been a lot of discussion and research about the use of Second Life to support individuals with autism. Second Life also has a rich arts community. Recently the Second Life art, technology and autism community has aligned with the new Guardian Autism Art Museum.
Easter Seals has championed creativity within the autism community with our two Sketch-a-Space competitions — in 2010 and 2012. This new museum provides another forum to celebrate the creativity of those living with autism. I look forward to visiting the galleries, seeing the art and admiring the creativity.
