This essay shows art-works of young students diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. Through a six-week long theme, the students worked with self-portraits, through three phases. First, they made a sketch without any special instructions. Second, they used a grid-method. Third, they created personal, innovative, and original images. The grid method was a way to meet the AS students’ needs for clear instructions. The third phase was quite challenging for the student. However, when they overcame the obstacles, they made creative and personal portraits. It was crucial for the students to start in the known before entering the unknown.
