The 2024-2025 Jiahui Health Art Contest has officially kicked off!
Whether you are someone with autism, a family member or a friend of an autistic person, or simply someone who wants to learn more about autism, Jiahui Health invite you to express your understanding, concern, and support for the autistic community through art and creativity.
Selected artwork will be beautifully crafted into merchandise, allowing more people to get a hold of a meaningful souvenir while supporting our inclusion efforts.
Jiahui Health are using art to highlight the unique gifts of individuals with autism and foster social inclusion!
Increasing Visibility Around Autism
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person thinks, interacts with others, and experiences the world. It is characterized by a wide range of challenges, particularly in social skills, repetitive behaviors, and communication. It typically appears before the age of 2-3 years.
Each individual's experience with autism can differ greatly, leading to a unique combination of strengths and difficulties. For instance, some may be nonverbal, while others can communicate effectively.
Recognizing Potential
& Promoting Social Inclusion
Spending time with children with autism reveals that, despite certain communication challenges, they are very capable and possess many strengths. Jiahui Health hope that more people in the community can look beyond the label of autism, so they can see the gifts and aspirations of autistic children.
Encouragement and inclusion also empowers children with autism to master different life skills over time and gain self-esteem, so they can transition from school to adult life smoothly.

The Power of Art to Connect Us
Through the lens of art, Jiahui Health hopes to provide an inside look into their unique and precious world. They also hope that children with autism can see how much support and embrace those in the community have towards them.
You are invited to use your brush to express your understanding and compassion for individuals with autism.
