language and sense - Is language above communication? What if some codes don't make sense for a human being? Because we live together, we must find a way to understand and to connect to each other. Simon Loisel
can you see me? - Sometimes autistic people avoid contact, but have you ever tried to contact them? Enrico Francone and Marie Schorlemmer
TAKE A LOOK. - take a look // have a look // have a look at me // see me // I see you // I see you more / see me more // feel me // notice me // make contact // eye to eye // connect to me // eye to eye // communicate with me // let me. Avoiding eye contact is one of the basic symptoms of autism. Yusuf Bahar
space in place - to fit into – to become part of, to have space for. It depends on one’s ability to find room, on the size of the space and on the margins given by the surrounding agents and objects. Not fitting can lead to the feeling of rejection, isolation and loneliness. Rute Barbedo
play - "In my view, I want to play. This is my view. I don't see autism as a disease. I just have a different perspective of the world. What is normal, anyway?" Hanka Šrajerová
under my skin - Accepting autism as a unique way of being. A way that makes a person who he/she is: different from the majority or, in other words, special. Tania Ferreira
