Your book sounds like it'll be a fascinating read. :)

I agree. It sounds very captivating. It's a pity that there's no English translation as yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if one was to appear later on.

....In the second part of the book I briefly explain how it is to have to earn a living, being autistic with no one knowing what autism is. Trying to understand my life I read some 10,000 pages of psychoanalitic literature and for this reason my enmity for Freud and disciples is absolute and deadly.


Admiration.

And on the subject of Freud and disciples, where do you place Jung , who seems to me to be on the Autistic spectrum ,even if "only"as an extreme introvert ? He too found that Freud's theories were not sufficient , to explain himself or many others. But he didn't "get" it either, except in so far as invented the traits of which introversion is one . I don't know what if anything he thought of Aspergers work. ??

I'm struck by the fact that one of my heroines ( ALAS, no longer !)was Alice Miller , who trained , and excelled in , the field of psychoanalysis, but began to have her doubts , wrote " The Drama of the Gifted Child" still using some of the psychobabble language , and then totally broke away , to the point of leaving the profession because of what she saw as its fundamentally obscuring and blinding explanations , inherent in its whole approach.
Her description of the manic and depressive "expressions" of/survivalist adaptations to the original state , of " the highly sensitive" child , ( this was before ASD much known about ) made so much sense to me that I cried on first reading it.She has since written books on fascism, and one I like a lot, " For Your Own Good " on the institutionalised cruelties of adults towards children. But it was still not yet obvious in her books what she could be writing about if it wasn't some kind of mental illness.
I kept wondering "what" she thought was the cause.
Though her theory seemed to imply that these "gifted children" were born that way, but she couldn't quite work it out so later prints of her first book were simply titled " The Drama of Being a Child" , which of course confused things even more.

UNFORTUNATELY I have just googled her and discover to my disappointment that she has retrenched into a position of blame the parents, and I now remember that that was something i found a little "going-nowhereish" about her later books.
I am reeling with anger and sadness.

Nella bolla. Come si vive con l'autismo
di Marini Lapo

Normalmente disponibile in 1/2 giorni lavorativi
________________________________________
Descrizione
"Tutto ciò su cui poso lo sguardo è offuscato dalla tensione, anche se, in qualche caso, per qualche cosa, la mia vista è di una chiarezza anche eccessiva. Il bisogno estremo costringe a mettere a fuoco, ad andare in fondo alle cose, dietro di esse, al di là. Il vivere sempre al limite, sul filo della corda ti obbliga a essere lucido; da un certo punto di vista, devi guardare solo la corda, tralasciare una quantità di particolari. E forse ancor oggi ciò che sbarra la strada alla sincerità è la natura del rapporto con gli altri, che è privo di qualsiasi scioltezza. Devi prestare un'attenzione estrema, ogni giorno e ogni ora, a come ti muovi tra gli altri. Essere privati della pienezza nello stare con gli altri. Dell'amore non osiamo neppure parlare, anche se lo cerchiamo, da lontano, nel buio". Una ricognizione straziata e straziante dell'universo dell'autismo, dal suo interno.



Itanish-english "translation" :P
