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.

Wow! Congratulations Paolo! That's no small achievement.

Congrats!

That's great!! ! It's a pity I can't read Italian. Will there be an English translation? And can you tell some more about your book - is it like an autobiography, or about a fictional character? Is it about a specific part of your life (or the main character's life) or more about living with autism in general? What kind of plot does it have? Or is it not so much like a novel, but more like descriptive of autism in general? I hope you don't mind all the questions, I'm just really curious.

In the bubble. How I live with autism.

Congratulations Paolo. Great achievement!

::wishes it was in english::
congrats :]

Oh wow...congradulations

I would get a copy if I could read Italian, which I can't unfortunately.
Will there be any english copies of that same book that come out?

It's short. Nothing fictional. In the first part are recollections of my childhood mainly during the war. Once I was convinced that we (me and my family) were going to be shot as suspects of espionnage. Then we wondered in the countrysides trying to cross the "lines" (the Gothic Line) in a wood with shells falling around and machineguns in operation. Nevertheless it was not the worst period of my life. I also had a Jewish gramma who was in hide and I had to be speedely "converted" to Catholicism. There were all these tensions which did not add up to a serene atmosphere in my family. But it took half a century to understand where the real problems were for me and 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.

Congrats that sounds like an interesting book

The Great Work!

It sounds like a powerful story, translation please. You are one of the oldest and wisest here.

Congratulazioni!

Congrats, Paolo! I'm writing a book about my life with AS, and I'm trying to get it finished by the end of the year. My counselor has been pushing me to do it for a long time. So I've set it as a goal, and we'll see what happens. Seeing your success has really inspired me. Thanks.

Although I can read it, congratulations for your book paolo!

i think its cool that you have lived so long!

Unfortunately Empty Fortress has been for years my Gospel. How come?
