Focusing on topics of school, family and the future of autistics, Debbie has depicted people impacted by autism living in Ha Long and Hanoi in the most realistic sense.

Nguyen Van Hoa, grandfather of Nguyen Hai Dang who is a child with autism in Quang Ninh, was emotional when Debbie came to take pictures of his grandson. Attending the exhibition, he could feel that Debbie took photographs with love for autistic children.
Over the course of time of photographing children, Debbie realised the lack of awareness of autism in Vietnam, which hindered the proper support from the wider public. “Children with autism I met in Vietnam are smart and talented but their skills have yet to be developed. I hope there will be some institutions for people with autism in Vietnam to live and work like in other countries that I visited to launch my project,” she shared.
