An integral part of the exhibition are the author’s descriptions, which together with the works make up a coherent story of a person with autism who faces her everyday life. And this one can be difficult – unpredictable, full of incomprehensible social norms, inevitable conversations with people and unbearable noises. But it can also be surprising and interesting, thanks to an unconventional approach to what can be done in the family.

Although the pictures show clutter and chaos, the exhibition works like the brain of most people with autism: everything is described here in a straightforward, logical and orderly way.

The exhibition features films, photos, and an installation.
