He is overwhelmingly joyless, which I sincerely hope don’t reflect the author’s experiences. I know a lot of people with autism who span the spectrum, in real life and as part of the ASD community on the internet who are all impacted by autism in different ways, and I certainly don’t speak for all people with autism, but in all my years, I have never met a person who experiences with world with the same level of misery as Hervé. People on the spectrum have different stims, different vocal and verbal abilities, different special interests, different skills and strengths, different triggers and anxieties. That’s the very nature of a spectrum disorder. If a neurotypical person had written this book, I would give it one star.Įveryone experiences their autism differently. I gave this book two stars because the author’s blurb at the end of the book states that he had recently been diagnosed with Asperger’s. Is it just a trick or a way to bring together two men who could be each other’s lifeline? It was impossible for them to meet, but life sometimes likes to cheat the odds. Luc has been severely scarred by fire and flees human presence to avert the way people glare and frown when they see him. Hervé has Asperger’s, a specific kind of autism that makes him unable to interact with other people.
