Invisible Differences
Invisible Differences | Julie Dachez
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
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. 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.

#Eisner award nominee. I started this book late last night and was unable to put it down. A beautiful visualization of the struggles of living with Asperger's (though it is no longer diagnosed independently of ASD). It also serves as a reminder that not all countries are equal in their acceptance of disabilities or their willingness to accommodate.

That just flew by....
This comic was first published in France and only translated to English this year.
It's written by a Julie who was diagnosed with Aspergers as an adult; as part of her awareness campaign for Autism and Aspergers.

Truly enlightening!

I love how the art starts out all dull and brightness up as the MC becomes more comfortable with herself.

Really easy to read and nice to look at graphic novel about autism. Originally in French, the English version is coming out in August. I got this for review and liked it a lot!
