The Purest Minds

My son who is 18 and has Down Syndrome is doing an art exhibit at his school. He goes to a regular highschool and goes to classes with 'peer tutors'. This is a piece that will go in the exhibit.

He won't draw anything just because you ask him or want him to. He'll only draw what he wants to when he wants. When it's time to sign yearbooks at his school the other (regular?) kids line up and wait for him to draw a 'Dora' in their books. It's a prize. He can whip one out just like signing his signature. His art changes the energy in a room.
