US Autism and Asperger Association World Conference – Day 2

October 28, 2011 by Gauthiér 2 Comments

What a whirlwind day!  We met so many interesting people –incredible minds.  As the conference was beginning, Chris and I set up a studio in an extra dining room, just off the lobby.  Throughout the day, we photographed portraits of people who were contributing to the autism conversation, doing amazing work in the field AND were on the spectrum themselves.

    It was, as is true for so many of our days, both amazing and very, very difficult. Caleb was really having a hard time and my attention was primarily on keeping meltdowns at bay, so I (Jax) was not able to make snap shot documentary images of everyone. There were conversations I really wanted, (needed) to have that just wasn’t possible while managing the kids. It has become very apparent that a larger team will be necessary for the remainder of this project.
