From bread roll crises to blouse obsessions: A literary scholar and Asperger's autistic takes us into her different world. She shows that autism is right among us; it is often just not recognized. Who thinks of autism when a woman with a doctorate eats the same thing every day and prefers to dive into textual worlds rather than attend barbecue parties? It wasn't until her mid-thirties that Gabrijela Mecky Zaragoza had her autism thesis reviewed in Freiburg. In her book, she tells the story of autism differently, more joyfully, and in a more feminine way. It’s about glass walls and conversational hurdles, about a love for order and moving dramas, hunger for research attacks, and ranking sessions with scarves, earrings, and kimonos. Her journey through space and time proves: The hedgehog child from Hamburg-Mitte has come a long way. The author now lives in the heart of Mexico City.
