I don't know if it has already been mentioned, but there is a new book by Jill Mullin, called Drawing Autism, with pictures of paintings, drawings and collages made by people on the autism spectrum.
Here's a link to a website gallery with images from the book:

Was wondering if there's anyone here who's work is in the book. I have a number of pieces in there.

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Nice that there's some of your work in the book!

It's mostly work from my sketchbook; I was a bit disappointed that some of my other pieces couldn't be there. I don't currently have some of my larger works where I'm living, and the images I had of them were too small pixel-wise for a book. (They require at least 3000x3000!  My regular digital camera can't do that.)
