There is an exhibition of works by artists with autistic spectrum disorder at Trongate 103 until 30th April 2013. I made a visit today to view this showcase of paintings, ceramics, drawings, textiles, video and block printing by 41 artists. This was developed with support from Project Ability who provided two ten-week workshops for the people involved.

The exhibition offers a variety of interesting work and highlights the wide range of talents and interests of the artists. Involvement in creative activities can help people with ASD to express their ideas and share their aspirations with the wider public.
It is recognised by the National Autistic Society that about 1 in 100 people has ASD. This affects how a person communicates and relates to other people. Someone with ASD can experience difficulties which require specialist support and advice from services such as the Autism Resource Centre.
