A Neurotic Confesses

After being diagnosed with Asperger‘s autism at the age of 56, Sandrine Plassard finally understands why she has always felt so different and why her life has been so challenging.

Her first book, A Neurotic in Lockdown, chronicled her experience of the COVID-19 lockdown from the perspective of a neurotic woman. In her second book, A Neurotic Confesses, she delves deeper into her unique daily life.

Following her late diagnosis, Sandrine wrote a third book, Embracing Autism at 56, to share how her life has changed and to explain some of the challenges associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
