People with autism spectrum disorder process their sensory information and communicate each in his or her own unique way. Choreographer Liisa Pentti and a group of young people with autism spectrum disorder had their weekly dance class for six months. During the classes they were looking for a common language and explored the possibilities of dance. Words were hardly ever the first way to communicate for they had to find a unique language for each person as well as his or her own way to dance.
