Marguerite has trouble being out and about. Sensitivity to noise, trouble reading social cues, her very strict routines all interfere with her personal and professional relationships. She has talked to doctors and therapists, who have assured her nothing is wrong, but deep down she feels like there might be. Finally after an internet search results in her finding Asperger's Syndrome, Marguerite feels like there might be a name for what causes these things. The book is set in France, where information about autism and Asperger's is surprisingly behind the times. Even so, getting an official diagnosis is more difficult than she imagines, but finally she gets an answer: she has Asperger's Syndrome.

Marguerite embraces what would normally be considered bad news by many people. She begins to advocate for herself, tells her friends what her limits are, and becomes happier and healthier. She makes new friends, changes jobs, and even goes back to school to work in the psychology field.

This is an interesting telling based on a true story. The artwork is well done, and does an excellent job depicting Marguerite's sensitivities. The panels are easy to follow, and the text is easy to read. The book contains a good deal of information about Asperger's and the autism spectrum. This book would be a great choice for grades ten and up.
