Inside the head of an Asperger

"I have the impression of living differently from others. From the image of being different that he reflects back to me. I imagine this other person living in a kind of dream, evolving in a foreign language. If he lives in a dream, I'm inhabited by a drama. The same letters, just slightly altered, and because of this anagram, you're thrown into a totally different environment. Incomprehensible, funny, nightmarish." In 2016, at the age of 57, René Maurice Dereumaux was diagnosed with Asperger's autism.
Blessed with a simultaneously revealed giftedness, the author had to carry this handicap all his life without knowing it. In this rare and precious document, he confides in us how this syndrome has inhabited him body and soul since his earliest childhood. With originality and offbeat humor, he takes us inside his head, revealing his deepest thoughts, his love of letters, words and numbers. His obsession with cars.
