This piece is a hand embroidery design focused around autism. While everyone with autism is different, I find commonalities like the sensory touch and colour can reflect someone’s mood/emotion and simple shape like the pattern piece to represent autism. My intentions for this was to educate my audience and myself on what autism is as there is a lack of understanding of what autism is. By exploring this theme of autism, I would be able to highlight the difficulties of coping with this disorder as everyone is affected in different ways and a different impact on their everyday lives, which makes many people.

What have I learnt from this course?

Skills I have gained throughout my course is to enhance good time management, stay on track and I have used my journal to make a list of actions I had to complete to make sure all my work is up to date and ask my tutor and peers for advice on my work. I will ensure to continue to use this in the future.

What is my advice for anyone joining the course? ​
