“My mother and I would both give him a paper plate and a crayon to draw and he started drawing then. He loved to draw, even in a highchair,” said Ms. Casey.
On Brielle Day, he has a tent and sells his art on a donation basis. Ms. Casey described the process as everything costs whatever anyone wants to pay. The goal is for him to share his art and to have a way to buy new canvases and paints.
On seeing the finished product of her son’s art when he finishes a piece, Ms. Casey said, “It fills my heart with such joy. Having a child with autism, when he was first diagnosed it was heartbreaking because you don’t know what the future holds …but he has been the greatest joy of my life.”
