Paintings by autistic child achieve global fame.

[BBJ]

Something dear to my heart as we have an autistic grandson.

A three-year-old girl who started painting as therapy for her autism has seen her work attract buyers from across the world.
Works by Iris Grace Halmshaw, who cannot speak, have sold to bidders for more than £800.
Her mother Arabella Carter-Johnson, 32, saw her daughter’s work unexpectedly rise to fame after she posted copies of the paintings on Facebook, which received rave reviews, and then decided to set up a website to showcase her daughter’s work.

Any relation to Richard? (the former scotland and spurs centre half.)

Not my taste but great stuff for the little one. Nice for the parents as well
