I needed to be free from the weight of this disease in order to attack it with all my...

At first meeting me, there are not obvious signs and people often assume that I am...

L'autisme dans une vie, ça bouleverse bien des éléments. Ça brouille les cartes, falsifie les données, change les résultats, retarde des projets. Mais l'autisme, ça n'élimine pas le bonheur, bien au contraire, et c'est le message d'espoir que je désire transmettre aux gens.
