Summary

"Marguerite [a fictionalized version of Dachez] is a shy twentysomething working hard to keep up appearances in her "normal" adult life. But something's been off for a while; everyday noises assaults her senses, constant coworker chatter works her nerves, and her clueless boyfriend makes her feel like she's imagining it all. After a failed road trip ends in disaster, Marguerite finally searches for answers: Why is she "so sensitive" to everything? Why can't she just make small talk? Why does she feel like she isn't enough? A miraculous thing happens: Marguerite is diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, embarking her on a three-year journey of acceptance and self-love. Finally living by her own rules, she asks the real question: Why doesn't the world understand autistic people?" -- back cover
