«Is something wrong with me?»

If you have ever asked yourself this question because you get tired of noise, hate unnecessary conversations, cut tags off clothes, or feel out of place at any event — this book is for you.
Olga Bystrova — a psychologist with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) — honestly shares what it is like to live with ASD.

Inside you will find:
- An explanation of why fatigue comes faster with autism and why a different quality of rest is required.
- Specific strategies to reduce sensory overload at home and work.
- Ways to talk about your traits with loved ones and colleagues — calmly and without excuses.
- Exercises and techniques for self-support during moments of overload.

This book is for adults with ASD, for their loved ones, and for everyone who suspects their «social battery» is set up differently. It will help you stop wasting life imitating «normality» and start building your own — calm, honest, and comfortable for you.
