HOUSTON – In honor of Autism Awareness Month, on April 28, KPRC 2 Insiders participated in a LIVE art demonstration and live chat hosted by Houston Life host Derrick Shore and KPRC 2 Meteorologist Justin Stapleton and featuring local eco-artist and special needs advocate Grant Maniér.
The 25-year-old artist living with autism took Insiders step by step through the process of creating an eco-friendly piece of art as they watched or followed along. Days before the event, Insiders were given a list of supplies they would need.

When you hear the term that someone is on the autism spectrum, it means many things to many people. It is called a spectrum because every autistic person has a different level of ability or deficit in the areas of social skills, sensory sensitivity, cognitive function, motor skills and executive function. The unique combination of ability and deficit in each of these areas is exactly why it is so difficult to first diagnose and then properly support individuals on the spectrum. It is why the more-than 5 million Americans on the spectrum to date have been over 80% under- or unemployed.
