Autism Memoir

In this book I express my feelings I had during my teenage years as a teen with autism. Watching other kids go through puberty and begin interacting with the opposite sex in different ways than I knew or understood was very frustrating. It is my goal that this book helps you prepare other children for the teenagers years and puberty. Puberty is tough to deal with for anyone. Throwing Autism into the mix only made things more confusing. I needed more clarity on what was going on with my body. I sought out answers on my own because no one talked to me about it in ways I understood.

Autism and BPD are two conditions that affect every aspect of my life. I wouldn't be who I am if I were not autistic and did not have BPD. Within this book, you will listen to the struggles I've had to go through, from growing up, to confusing teenage years, to challenges in adulthood. You will also listen about the good times I've had in my life, and my reasons for carrying on when I was at my lowest. Some of the content within this book may be triggering, but if it helps just one person, it would have been worth it. I hope you enjoy listening to my story.

"Jag Upphäver Gravitationen" är en stark utlämnande självbiografi från en ung person med en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning. Hen föddes i Rumänien 1991, bara några få år efter att den rumänska kommunistregimen föll 1989.

Alexander fungerade bra under sina första år, men när kraven ökade på honom när hen började på dagis, så visade sig symtomen på hens funktionsnedsättning allt mer tydligt och vid fem års ålder fick hen sin första neuropsykiatriska diagnos, autism.
