Autism and how art can help achieve changes in consciousness

Working with Autism and how art can help achieve changes in consciousness .

When working with children with Autism I find that doing repetitive calming exercises to begin classs works well.

Rebekah and I always start by drawing a soft toy that she brings to class. Today she brought her rabbit called "Blossom" so of course because its Springtime in New Zealand we drew Blossom under a blossom tree.

The spring wind was horrendous outside and the old studio was creaking and groaning . Rebekah doesn’t like the wind , she can become agitated as she is often afraid that the power will go off . So we put Taylor Swift on the UE Boom and turned it up and began drawing and we soon forgot about the wind, instead losing ourselves for 1.5 hours in our drawing. 

Music and art is magic like that .
