Ունենալով մի տարածք, որտեղ չկան ակնկալիքներ, չկան կանոններ, չկան ճիշտ կամ սխալ ձևով նկարելու կարգ, աութիզմով տառապող անհատները հնարավորություն են ստանում ազատվել հասարակության մեջ առկա ՊԻՏԻ և ՉՊԻՏԻ մշտական ճնշումներից, և ավելի հեշտությամբ ներթափանցել իրենց ներքին հուզական աշխարհը:

Art is a world without language, accessible to anyone anywhere, any time. Art has no boundaries, it is a medium available to any person around the globe. Art education and art therapy are two tools which help people to express their emotions, thoughts, and desires in a productive and creative way. One community in particular which greatly benefits from art education and art therapy has been the autistic community, children and adults who, due to their autism, often cannot express themselves in words either clearly or at all. Having an outlet that is expressive and/or therapeutic is extremely beneficial to them. Having a space where there are no expectations, no rules, no right or wrong way of putting a mark on a page, helps these individuals with autism get away from the constant pressures of "should" and "should not" within society, and allows them easier access to their inner selves and to their emotions. All of this is represented through their artwork, through the utilization of color, texture, brush strokes, materials, etc.
