30 Days to Understand Autism – A Review
"30 Days to Understand Autism" - Mélanie Babe, Marine Baroukh and Charline Dunan (Uovonero, 2021)

«It's hard to explain autism in words. Sometimes the best way to understand something is to get your hands dirty… So turn the page. A month of challenges awaits you!» The book pushes you toward action, beginning with a brilliant exploration of neurodiversity—grounded in the conviction that good communication builds understanding and breathes life into empathy.

Thirty days to step into the world of someone with autism: to confront daily challenges, but also to grasp autistic strengths and ways of being. It starts by asking: How does she see the world? Imagine walking to school while everything crumbles to pieces around you—a fragment of traffic light on the ground, a crumb of cloud, and the police officer you turn to suddenly becomes a Picasso painting. What happens when your face vanishes from every photograph?

Questions to sit with, by playing, through activities done alone or in a group. A book of real openness, meant to help you grow confident: «Sometimes, to break through the walls that divide us from others, all you need is a good dose of empathy. You don't need to be a ghost.»
