On display are portraits of Vietnamese people with autism, their families and caregivers, which were taken in Hanoi, Ha Long and Ho Chi Minh City. Through artistic features, exhibited photos shed light on what autism looks like across diverse nationalities, languages and cultures. There are real stories of love and motivation to move on, embedded in every single frame. Debbie Rasiel is a mother of an autistic child. She has been on a journey to different countries – called the Picturing Autism project – to document the lives of families living with autism.
