A spectrum of autistic artists


Autism. Until fairly recently,Live Cycle portalwatches for men and ladies . this word likely brought to mind Rainman-like people who had savant skills but were psychologically unreachable and physically untouchable. Thanks to the Internet, organizations like Autism Speaks and individuals who have dedicated themselves to autism awareness, this is no longer true.

Autism is in the news, spotlighted in movies and on television. Individuals on the autistic spectrum are becoming well-known, accepted, respected and even embraced in modern society.

Today, people like Temple Grandin and current American Idol contestant James Durbin don’t have to fear being shunned. In fact, they are admired for their talents and elicit public support.A typical Copy Blancpain watch has very poor and low functionality.

Current statistics state that 1-in-110 children are on the autistic spectrum. In Big Bear schools, there are several students who have been diagnosed with autism. Navigating the school social scene isn’t easy for anyone, but for autistic kids it is especially challenging and often terrifically frustrating.

Autistic kids are smart and talented, but they experience the world differently. What they need is patience and understanding to help bring out their special skills and instill personal pride. Big Bear High School senior Sierra Hood has dedicated herself and her senior project to doing just that.

BBHS seniors are required to complete a project focused on a topic of personal or community significance that generates a tangible end result. Hood created Si-Si’s Art Angels as her project, which combines her love of art with helping autistic children in the Valley.

The art generated from these classes will be showcased in a gallery exhibition and auctioned off at Marina Resort on May 1.
