I have a bond with objects because they give me what I want and I give them a purpose in return. They make me happy”.

I also wanted to give voice to autistic adults and so I interviewed and included their words of their experiences of being autistic, alongside the images.

I was always struck by the frequent comment ‘he looks fine to me, you’d never know’. It made me realise that the invisibility of autism was going to be the biggest challenge for him to be accepted for who he was, and to be able to live his life happily, without judgement.
