Mark Brosnan • Differences in Art Appreciation in Autism: A Measure of Reduced ...
Shaughnessy talks about how some people who feel like they don't fit in might really like certain artworks because it makes them feel like they are part of something special. Art is not just something extra in life, but a way for people to connect with each other. A study found that autistic people and non-autistic people appreciate art differently, especially when it comes to judging the quality of art. Autistic people may not see as big of a difference between good and bad art as non-autistic people do. Some researchers suggest that liking art from a distance might help people enjoy even sad or negative images in art. They also wonder if autistic artists make art that is less emotional, or if autistic people see art in a more systematic way. The study focused on art with clear human figures because they are easy to understand, and the results may not apply to abstract art that is harder to interpret.

There’s a connection between autobiographical self-expression and autism, or auto-ism , from the Greek word auto , meaning “self” or “self-referential.” Pain and discomfort... See more
