It began when fine art portrait photographer Charles Cotugno began creating images of individuals on the autism spectrum and collecting their stories of inspirational challenges and victories. Over the last several years the project has been extensively exhibited, been featured on several television programs, and the subject may magazine and web articles. Charlie’s son is on the autism spectrum.
