Este es el libro que a Noemí le hubiera gustado tener entre las manos el día en que a su hijo Mateo le diagnosticaron TEA. Y el libro que la habría ayudado a entender su propio caso cuando, al cabo del tiempo, descubrió que también ella era una persona con autismo. ¿Cómo gestionar la incertidumbre? ¿Cómo afrontar el miedo que sientes como madre? ¿Cómo tratarlo con los hermanos? ¿Y con la pareja? ¿Qué decirle a la gente que quiere ayudar, pero no sabe cómo? ¿Qué recursos hay? Pero en él no solo nos habla de esta realidad, sino que hace un recorrido por su vida y su maternidad. En forma de entrevista, este potente memoir lleno de entresijos emocionales pretende inspirar y ayudar con herramientas y recursos a todos aquellos lectores que tengan cerca un ser querido neurodivergente, para que -como declara la autora- «hagan de la vida de ambos una vida plena». This is the book that Noemí herself would have liked to have had in her hands when her son, Mateo, was diagnosed with ASD, the one that would have helped her understand her own case when she later discovered that she was a person with autism as well. How do you manage the uncertainty? How do you face the fear you feel as a mother? How do you treat this issue with the other siblings, and with one's partner? What do you say to those who want to help but don't know how? What resources do we have access to? With this work, Noemí not only tells us about the reality of ASD but also takes us on a tour of her life and motherhood. In the form of an interview, this powerful memoir full of emotional intricacies aims to inspire and help all readers who have a neurodivergent loved one with tools and resources, so that -as the author declares- "they can both live a full life".
