Autism Au and love: an incredible story of a lived contradiction<br />

Peter Pe Schmidt is a person with autism. He cannot understand others’ feelings,<br />

nor no can he interpret their facial expressions. For him, small talk represents a<br />

balancing bal act, a choice of which foot to put in his mouth. All this doesn’t exactly<br />

make ma him Prince Charming, but he is nevertheless happily married with children.<br />

dre In his remarkable autobiography, Schmidt recounts how he overcame<br />

many ma obstacles and detours to find love – a work of narrative art and a testament<br />

me to the diversity of existence, told by an endearing outsider.
