  The Autists - Women on the Spectrum

  An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. 
   
   
   
  Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained undiagnosed. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts—talented and socially awkward. 
   
   
   
  Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes? 
   
   
   
  In The Autists, Clara Törnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens—what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take center stage.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay is a poignant novel that intertwines two stories set sixty years apart. In 2002, Julia Jarmond, an American journalist living in Paris, is tasked with writing an article about the Vel' d'Hiv' roundup, a tragic event in which thousands of Jewish families were arrested and deported from Paris in 1942. As Julia delves into her research, she uncovers a personal connection to this dark chapter of history: her in-laws' apartment was once the home of a Jewish family who perished in the Holocaust. Julia's investigation leads her to the story of Sarah Starzynski, a ten-year-old girl who was the sole survivor of her family's deportation. The novel explores themes of guilt, memory, and the enduring impact of the Holocaust on both survivors and subsequent generations. As Julia uncovers the truth about Sarah's fate, she is forced to confront the secrets of her husband's family and the complexities of France's wartime past.

  Natural Herbs - Understanding the power of natural herbs involves delving into their rich history of traditional use and modern scientific validation. These herbs, such as ginger, turmeric, and peppermint, offer a plethora of benefits due to their natural compounds. For instance, ginger and turmeric are renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties, while peppermint aids digestion and soothes the stomach.
