Bao Liping, born in 1983, suffers from autism. She likes to make up, but speaks less and smiles less. She has strong sensibility about color, and as a Gemini girl, she expresses her double character through paintings: rational and unruly. Bao wants to have a job to support her family.

There are always some people who can never turn normal, just like those suffering from autism, but they show the value of existence through their own ways.

Here is a group of photos about some artists who suffer from mental disorder and their art works; their personal arts express unique spiritual world of their own, and innocence and humor come out directly from their pure hearts. We don't need them to be professional; we are already impressed and surprised by their purity, creativity, and talent.

The photos were taken by Zhang Lijie, editor of China Disable People’s Magazine; this work full fills the native soul of autistic artists.
