This was a really relatable story about a young woman who learns to stand up for herself and embrace her differences after realizing she is autistic. This book was definitely written to be informative, so some passages felt like they were written more for the benefit of allistic readers. This isn't necessarily a flaw, but I know it can bug some people to read stories that are about their experience but prioritize the learning of those outside of it. 

It saddened me to learn how behind France is on understanding their autistic citizens. Things are far from perfect in many countries with more autism resources and organizations though, as a number of them do more harm than good. It's unfortunate that Applied Behavior Analysis was mentioned in the back of this book as a 'time-tested method' to help autistic children, when we now know that many of these children grow up with severe trauma that went undetected or misunderstood by their Applied Behavior Analysis practitioners, alongside their doctors and family. I highly recommend researching viewpoints provided by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network for more information on how to raise autistic children healthily, and with respect to their individual needs. 

In regards to the art, I felt it was really clever to use the color red to express the overwhelming noises and social world surrounding Marguerite. I have sensory difficulties with colors, with red being the most overstimulating one, so this artistic choice was extremely affective for me. I could really feel Marguerite's distress in those pages. The use of color as Marguerite gained more confidence and made peace with the accomodations she needed was also very striking. The repetitive and well-paced panels skillfully helped pull the reader into understanding Marguerite's routines and social awkwardness. Altogether I feel this is a strong story, though I did have some issues with the information presented in it. I would recommend this comic to readers who want to understand more about autism, or to see themselves reflected in this story, but please don't let this be the only information on autism you read.
