Autistic Artistic

As a female artist with autism, Vienna Drysdale Bischard’s work and research explores the gaps that exist in medical and scientific research surrounding the condition of autism in women. In her work Bischard highlights this gap that exists, resulting in an under-diagnosis, while focusing on experiences for women with autism in art and wholly embracing her disability.

Bischard also questions how autism affects her art, as well as how her art encapsulates autism, creating portraits of her female autistic friends that allow her to celebrate their disability and shape her own work as a woman with autism.
