Alice Jolly's work The Matchbox Girl tells the story of Adelheid Brunner - a mute autistic patient of Dr Hans Asperger. This book won the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction. Judges praised the "originality, innovation, ambition" of Jolly's work which "confronts a topic of immense complexity in a gripping tour de force". Jolly said: "It feels overwhelming and incredibly exciting - I feel as though I have waited all my life for something like this to happen to me.” #autistic #asperger https://lnkd.in/gd2upTuG
