In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women. But it is now becoming increasingly clear that many autistic women and girls do not fit the traditional, male, model of autism. Instead, they camouflage and mask, hiding their autistic traits to accommodate a society that shuns them.

James creates bold, engaging collages and montages from old lottery scratchcards and other used materials. His autism has an influence throughout his creative process, from gathering materials to sorting them by colour, visual theme and texture before hole-punching, tearing or cutting them up for collaging – it even affects the subjects he depicts. These are primarily peaceful, calming woodland settings and animals, but also branch out into architecture, portraiture and the surreal.
