It's a book I think, anyone got it? Some of the images are really interesting.

I am really liking this one by a ten-year-old. If I'm not allowed to repost it here just delete it obviously. Anyway, it belongs in a museum if it's not in one already!

Very interesting. The one with the ducks reminds me of a trip to SuperWalmart. SuperWalmart=good for prices, but bad for humans, particulary for the introverted types that don't get a kick out of shopping.

The city map is simply amazing. I also find the Mirror Mind poster 3 fascinating.

That blue duck in the upper middle of the picture kind of looks like he is having sensory overload.

I also see evidence of a "fowl" special interest.

The 'Leap Years' picture is by far my favorite! It took me a second but once I figured out it was all the leap years from the Gregorian calendar I couldn't help but smile.

I was in this book along with another book called "Artism the art of autism." The link for that book is: http://artismtoday.com I am an artist. The picture they chose in Drawing Autism isn't my best but the ones in Artism the Art of Autism is much better. For the later book, I was in the news because of it. In fact in the past week on my local news channel. I am well known in my area and starting to be known in California and New York. I am an artist in Washington State.
