Neurodivergence, art and family

Abstract

Since ancient times, art has been understood as a form of expression and communication. It constitutes a language. Indeed, it has also been recognized as a form of therapy. Sophia Jireh Pereira Pereira and Emmanuel David Tovar Ferrer are two children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention - Deficit Hyperactivity / Disorder (ADHD), who have found in art the means to express their inner world through visual images, under the guidance and care of their families.
