Stephen is an artist who was diagnosed with Autism in the 1970′s. His parents had helped him enroll to a special school where he can build his future. When he was young, his first words were “pencil” and “paper”. When he was given those things, his life as an artist began.
His first drawing was a classroom field trip. Stephen possesses the ability to absorb vast complicated cities and transfer them to paper. As his ability grew, he earned the title of human camera. He has the ability to draw complex and realistic things from memory.
To me, his artwork is extraordinary. It makes me understand why he got the name human camera.
When I did research on Stephen, I was mainly researching artists who have autism. I needed to know if people with autism, just like Stephen and me, have a positive future.
I am a late-diagnosed twice-exceptional person interested in what talent and disability are, and what happens when they coexist. I talk about science and disability from a personal perspective. Because stories change lives, I find language to describe and explain neurodivergent people's experiences, leading them to say, "There are words for this?" and "I'm not the only one?" I love learning about all kinds of people with all kinds of minds -- and bridging the gaps between them. Although I can be slow to respond to messages, I read and appreciate them all.
