[The post from yesterday](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/agricultural-specialisterne-rural-employment-revolution-for-those-with-autism/50615/416) focused on a young artist with Autism, Victoria Wright. Another artist on the Autism Spectrum is Dashir Johnson, whose work is widely exhibited via the _Arts Unbound_ program in Orange, New Jersey. _Arts Unbound_ is a nonprofit whose mission is to provide arts education, skills building and a variety of vocational opportunities in the visual arts to youth and adults with mental, developmental and physical disabilities… > [@](#): > > …[Dashir Johnson] is known for the strength of human emotion depicted in his work. He describes herself as “an artist who happens to be in the autistic spectrum” and says his artwork depicts the beauty he sees in everyone. He prides himself on representing those with differences and says he hopes that the world sees that same beauty and finds acceptance through his eyes. Through Arts Unbound, he has gained a sense of community and is now more verbal and more engaged with others… Some of Dashir’s interesting works can be viewed on page 10 of the following catalog: [http://www.madisonhouseautism.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/autism-catalog-v4.pdf](http://www.madisonhouseautism.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/autism-catalog-v4.pdf) (source: [http://www.madisonhouseautism.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/autism-catalog-v4.pdf](http://www.madisonhouseautism.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/autism-catalog-v4.pdf)) --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/agricultural-specialisterne-rural-employment-revolution-for-those-with-autism/50615)._
