how to come homeward from the ashes
this is the STORIES-HIDDEN version🕳

A buzzing patio,
A square table,
A red oval basin of bubbles,
Burnt corn kernels, An oversweet crepe, honeysuckle tea,
A bowl of rice porridge in the heat,
A spring of water leak,
Juice drops of peach on my feet,
A green sneak, on tiptoes of slip,
The aroma of Toona, crackling firewood and leaves,
Ploughs, mattocks, vegetable patches, Exploding sparkling fireworks,
Around thrills and shivers of me, a blanket,
An embrace of my grandpa and ma,
A childhood of bliss.

what if there is a primeval paradise❔❓

I got a chance to spend time with, observe and document 8 children with ASD, down's syndrome, comorbidity, multimorbidity, or unspecified disorders-within 18-day school life from the 2nd June 2021 to the 25th June 2021 in Huairou District, Beijing, China. Each day spanned from 3-5 hours approximately. The images present one typical behaviour of each child and relevant scenes. The typical behaviour was decided on the basis of spontaneity in comparison to being under close supervision. Besides the actual locations with/without children, relevant scenes also include the imitations of a child's first angle. In agreement with the school’s headmaster, facial figures were deliberately avoided. This must be reminded that the potential influence on the outcome due to my existence cannot be eradicated.

I think that people with autism are born outside the regime of civilization. We are more like travelers from the distant, distant past. And if, by our being here, we could help the people of the world remember what truly matters for the Earth, that would give us a quiet pleasure.

《THE REASON I JUMP》 written by Naoki Higashida with autism, translated by KA Yoshida and David Mitchell.
