As the mother of a 14 year old son with Down syndrome who draws and has already won several prizes and had exhibitions this is an issue close to my heart - he has a curator who refuses to label his work outsider art - which I totally agree with - I also refuse to see his talent as simply a by product of his intellectual disability - a savant for example - however there is little space for him to be taken seriously without the word disability tagging along.
