Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the theoretical-research background oriented to the drawing of a child with autism spectrum disorder with a comparison of characteristics in the drawing of a child with intact development. Through analyses of drawings of a child with Asperger's syndrome, the authors present unique characteristics of drawing expression. They analyze 13 of the authors' drawings of a boy with Asperger's syndrome that were collected over a two-year period. Specifically, this was the developmental period of the boy with Asperger's syndrome when he began to be drawing active (4 years and 6 months) and at a marked progression in drawing representation (6 years and 7 months). The authors consider the qualitative assessment of drawings as a possible evaluative support for further research on the appreciation of drawings of children with autism spectrum disorder.
