In the case of her son, Malcolm, it’s his artistic ability. But it’s also the fact that he’s autistic.
The Lancaster woman and her 23-year-old son recently exhibited his art work at the Nyeusi Gallery in Harrisburg. One of the paintings featured the quote: “Perfection isn’t a requirement for beauty.”
“Not that you’re not perfect if you have a disability,” Maria said, “but I know a lot of people who look upon that as an imperfection. So, to me that was a meaningful thing. He’s just a regular guy who has this real artistic gift that he takes in stride.”
