Invisible Differences by Julie Dachez
3.0
It was an interesting and informative read. I think it's a great book to help people understand what Asperger's is like and how they can perhaps help someone on the spectrum. Moreover, it can be great for someone on the spectrum to read about a protagonist who encounters similar issues in their daily life.
The downside of this book is that I did not really connect with the main character. While I understood her struggles and could somewhat relate to some of the situations, I did not develop a deep love for her. This might be due to the fact that the story is relatively short (since it's a graphic novel) and because there are quite some time jumps in the book which make the book quick paced, but also makes me feel a bit distanced from the main character. I was hoping for a more personal connection with the main character but this seems to be more of an educational read. As an educational read it's great though.
In short:
+ Informative
+ Quick read
- Felt distanced from the main character
