If you’re thinking she would be a female version of “Rain Man,” read this book! It’s not even close… “Camouflage” defines the terms for its reader, pointing out why there are fewer girls and women diagnosed with autism compared to boys and men, which – it pains me to admit – is not something I even considered. Since I was already a fan of Sophie’s work, I thought I might look into Sarah Bargiela before reading “Camouflage,” I was surely impressed to find that her research focuses on the experiences of young women with Autism Spectrum Disorder. “Camouflage: The Hidden Lives of Autistic Women” goes along the same line: informative, eye-opening, and gorgeously illustrated! The “Really Strange” series (Singing Dragon), also includes volumes on pain and anxiety, which I recommend you check out. Having done research on trauma in autobiographical graphic novels, I gathered all kinds of articles and books, including her collaboration with Steve Haines for “Trauma is Really Strange,” which is an essay on trauma in, well, comic format.
