Autism – Altered Perception

For Altered Perception, I chose to do it on Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is a neurological/developmental disorder. It can be detected at an early age and once detected there are treatments that are provided to help them get better. Although there is no cure for this disorder. Different people on this spectrum can be affected differently by this disorder. Some on the spectrum can be high functioning individuals while it may not be the same for others. They might be very good at one thing but may not know how to socialize or communicate which can hinder their development.

One of the biggest things I have understood about it is that they sometimes experience sensory overload, where they receive more information compared to other humans but their brain cannot process everything.

In this photo series, the fairy lights is used to show the feeling of sensory overload, and you will see it as the images progress.
