Autism Disorder

"Ich habe Probleme mit Blickkontakt. Ich kann weder Mimik deuten noch zwischen den Zeilen lesen. Da ist eine permanente Angst und lähmende Müdigkeit." Clara Törnvall wusste schon immer, dass etwas mit ihr nicht stimmt, doch erst mit 42 Jahren erhält sie die Diagnose. Sie ist Autistin? Sind das nicht eher sozial inkompatible Männer mit Inselbegabung? In "Die Autistinnen" erkundet sie, warum es insbesondere bei Frauen oft zu Fehldiagnosen kommt und wer wirklich hinter der mythisch aufgeladenen Figur der Autistin steht. Dabei stößt sie unverhofft auf eigene Idole wie Beatrix Potter, Greta Thunberg und Virginia Woolf.

Digtet beskriver familiens liv og hverdag, den indre og ydre smerte, der nager, fordi barnet bliver ved med at slå, og den kærlighed og skønhed, der blomstrer op mellem mor og barn på trods af alle udfordringerne.

Gekennzeichnet, gebrandmarkt für dein Leben. Du bist anders. Alle zeigen auf dich. Sie starren dich an. Sie verurteilen dich. Ohne dich zu kennen, bilden sie sich eine Meinung über dich.

Er nimmt die ganze Welt anders wahr.
