Artwork by my 13 year old autistic

He doesn't communicate via traditional means, but I'm constantly amazed by how much he understands. He's in Special Ed, but he's in a General Ed class for P.E., Science, and Art.

Art teacher just showed me the art, and I was blown away. I said how much it reminded me of Starry Night (by Van Gogh).

She said she showed the kids Starry Night and asked them to use this as inspiration to create a Spooky Night.

Hoping there's a future famous artist inside that goofy little guy.

Not to mention what I deduce to be a tree scaring folks. Love the eyes.
