As an autistic(自闭的)teen, Niam Jain doesn't speak much. But ever since the 13?year?old picked up a paintbrush last summer, he's found a way to express himself, and the art world is listening. Niam, who lives in Toronto, was diagnosed(诊断)with autism at the age of two. Niam is in special education class and loves school. Last summer Nina Jain bought her son some art supplies to give him something to do.

She never thought it would lead to a passion(酷爱)and a career, but soon after she posted Niam's first paintings online, a lot of people started buying them.Some were from family and friends. But most came from sharp?eyed collectors.

Niam has already sold 46 paintings across Canada and the US. He's made nearly $20, 000, and the number keeps growing.

“I don't know how he can do this because this is the work of a kind of successful mid?career painter, ” says a gallery owner after he pointed out Niam's mastery(精通)of the technique of mixing and layering(分层堆积)colours.

“Since he has paintings and he loves to do what he does, he has a reason to get up in the morning and that's really, really important, ” Nina says.

Morning and night, Niam can be found in his studio, sometimes painting for hours at a time, on more than one canvas at a time.
