Shoppers at the American Dream megamall were in for a treat on Friday.
Stephen Wiltshire, an artist with autism, hand-drew the New York City skyline from memory.
It was all a part of the mall’s Autism Acceptance Day event.
“I feel good. I’m doing the drawings that make myself happy…Do the best you can and never stop,” he says.
And a happy belated birthday to Wiltshire. He turned 51 years old on Thursday.
