As early as the exhibition installation stage, some residents came to inquire, and I heard that the exhibition was about the paintings of autistic children. They all showed great interest. Autism is often regarded as a ‘vulnerable group’, but we hope that through the concentrated display of the exhibition, it can be like a new window to guide everyone to discover more of their advantages.”
