At ArtPrize, a young teenager said, “My brother has autism. He’s brilliant but he flaps his hands.
Grown adults call him ‘retard.’ Thank you for getting it. Thank you for understanding.” Then she left crying.
“This exhibit is my son,” said an attractive mom. “He loves origami. That’s all he does. I could hear his story in the other children’s stories. This work is so touching. Thank you.”
