There are always some people who can never turn normal, just like those suffering from autism, but they show the value of existence through their own ways.

Here is a group of photos about some artists who suffer from mental disorder and their art works; their personal arts express unique spiritual world of their own, and innocence and humor come out directly from their pure hearts. We don't need them to be professional; we are already impressed and surprised by their purity, creativity, and talent.

The photos were taken by Zhang Lijie, editor of China Disable People’s Magazine; this work full fills the native soul of autistic artists.
