Maxime is diagnosed as autistic. In his book, I’m Autistic… So What?, he speaks about his condition with authenticity and humor, demystifying his daily life with a light and accessible tone.
My name is Maxime Vindrier, I am 26 years old, and I am autistic.
I have many passions I could talk about for hours, but we’ll get to that later. What really annoys me are the clichés and misconceptions about autism. Seriously, I often feel like shouting, “No, it’s not a disease, and no, it can’t be cured!” So, let’s sit down, and I’ll explain how someone ends up being “labeled” autistic—just to set the record straight.Maxime Vindrier
