It's the 25th century, and humans have learned how to end unwanted pregnancies by removing and cryogenically freezing the embryos to save for later. But they never planned for how many there would be, or how much control people would want over their offspring's genetic makeup..... Kea was an exile before she was born. Grown from an embryo that was rejected for having autism-spectrum genes, she has been raised on a starship full of Earth's unwanted children.
When a sudden discovery threatens their plan to find a home, Kea must join with other rejects to save the ship from its own corrupt government.

Biographie de Erika Hammerschmidt

I am an autistic author, artist and speaker. I give speeches to schools and support groups, telling the story of how I grew up as an alien on earth. I was diagnosed with various neurological disorders around the age of 11, but labels aren't everything to me. We are all individuals, and a diagnosis is just one of humanity's flawed but natural attempts to arrange the world into categories that seem neat and orderly.
It's language, and as much as I love language, it is not a perfect way of describing reality. There is no perfect way. No word's definition is universally agreed upon. No written definition can perfectly encompass the idea expressed by a word. And some ideas can't even be expressed by words in the first place. What I am can be described partially by the words "Autism, " "Asperger Syndrome, " and "Tourette Syndrome, " with their definitions as printed in the 1992 edition of the DSM-IV, as they were interpreted by my childhood psychiatrist...
but really, individual people all have their own unique mental conditions. Mine works for me right now, with or without labels. I see no need to change.
