My autistic non-verbal brother Samko is turning 18 in September, so I decided to document his journey into becoming an autistic adult and reaching a higher level of independence on his creative journey as an artist who is using colors not only to express himself but also bring the message into this world of compassion, acceptance, inclusivity, diversity, and uniqueness.

His workflow is beautifully transforming as he goes with the flow of his emotions, feelings, yet we can't read his mind. He can't say what he feels. He can only show us. He can be seen and heard even when he says no words. Even when his autism is not seen. His soul is, his voice is, his heart is, through his art and the way he is.

My intention is to inspire others on a journey with autism and educate the world and show how autistic people have a voice, have amazing gifts, and bring something beautifully unique to this world and make this world a more loving and compassionate place, united through compassion and mutual understanding and acceptance.
