Schon als Teenager wusste Fern Brady, dass sie anders war. Als sie zufällig über Autismus las, wusste sie instinktiv, warum. Hier war die Erklärung für ihre Wahrnehmungsstörungen, ihre Meltdowns, ihre Unfähigkeit, soziale Signale zu deuten. Doch erst mit 34 folgte endlich die befreiende Diagnose. In dieser schonungslos ehrlichen Autobiografie erzählt sie ohne Rücksicht und mit dem ihr eigenen Witz von Neurodiversität zwischen Sexismus und Ableismus und ihrem offenen Umgang damit.

Story
L'inizio di questa storia è un incrocio nel bel mezzo di Tripoli, più che un incrocio, un'auto con un parabrezza rotto ferma a un incrocio dopo un incidente. A bordo della macchina un uomo e una donna, un padre e una madre, prima erano in tre, solo che la figlia poco più che neonata è stata sbalzata fuori dall'abitacolo e ha impattato contro un albero. Comincia così il racconto della vita di Nagla Augelli, bambina tunisina abbandonata dalla famiglia in un orfanotrofio della sua città, dopo che un incidente di auto l'ha resa paraplegica.

Story
When her son was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, Irma Velasquez was devastated. It was the pre-internet era of the early 1990s, and both information and experts were hard to find. Desperate for answers, she sought out therapists and educational programs designed to teach Aaron how to become successful in school and in life. But those early years ended up teaching Irma more than they taught Aaron. Irma realized her desire to "fix" her son had been a masquerade to fulfill her own needs, and she began to love him just as he was: perfect.

Throughout, Knill offers eye-opening insights into disability and celebrates the power of technology to level the playing field.

In the depths of despair, contemplating suicide, I gazed out a rain-streaked window in Maryland, where blurred colors in a parking lot mirrored my shattered soul. The shame of being sexually abused haunted me with recurring nightmares and PTSD, leading to a life cloaked in a complex facade of military titles and untold secrets. In this powerful memoir, published poet and author Adam Volant shares his raw and inspiring testimony of overcoming unimaginable brokenness to achieve success.
