About The Book
Translated for the very first time in English, Invisible Differences is the deeply moving and intimate story of what it's like to live day to day with Asperger Syndrome.
"This soulful and serious look at Asperger’s syndrome brings an informed and optimistic perspective to the fore." — Publishers Weekly
Marguerite feels awkward, struggling every day to stay productive at work and keep up appearances with friends. She's sensitive, irritable at times. She makes her environment a fluffy, comforting cocoon, alienating her boyfriend. The everyday noise and stimuli assaults her senses, the constant chatter of her coworkers working her last nerve. Then, when one big fight with her boyfriend finds her frustrated and dejected, Marguerite finally investigates the root of her discomfor: after a journey of tough conversations with her loved ones, doctors, and the internet, she discovers that she has Aspergers. Her life is profoundly changed – for the better.
About The Illustrator
Mademoiselle Caroline was born in Paris a few years back. She’s the author of several humorous and autobiographical albums including Chute Libre and Carnets du Gouffre, a story about living with depression that has attracted the attention of the media and readers. In 2016, La Différence Invisible was first released in France. Also: she skis a lot (with class and distinction), plays rugby (with panache and severity), walks a lot (with courage and tenacity), and cares for her three children of two different ages (c’est possible!).
