The mission is to embrace the mothers of persons with autism. The mothers are the main voice of Autism in the world, but their life stories are always behind the scenes. Therefore, the goal of Eyecontact became to highlight their protagonism in achieving social inclusion, more qualified treatment, and a better quality of life for the autism community in Brazil and in the world through a framework of arts. The project believes that the art is a drive to include and connect the individuals with autism in the society. @eyecontactlivesshapedbyautism
