To live as an autistic woman is to intuit, feel and perceive life in a very particular way: we listen to the birds’ conversations, we ache on hot days and we call in silence. We walk through trembling, uncertain landscapes until we find ourselves. “Extraordinarias” is a documentary that shares the experience of nine autistic women in search of recognition. Autism has been a condition historically masculinized and not very visible in women. We will meet Paz, who narrates her story with animated illustrations, moving from a colorful childhood, a dark adolescence and adulthood, to the return to the colors that came with recognizing herself as autistic. She is accompanied by eight women whose testimonies provide nuances about this condition: from neurobiology to education, psychology and social work. When they recognize themselves as autistic women, they find the warm light that welcomes them into their safe spaces.
