38-year-old Louison and her 11-year-old son Guilhem are both diagnosed almost simultaneously with being on the autism spectrum, which helps Louison to reinterpret many of her life experiences and at the same time brings new challenges. Louison, recently separated from her husband and caring for her son alone, suddenly has to undergo a medical/psychological assessment. This is initiated to check whether she is capable of continuing to have parental responsibility for Guilhem. As she grapples with her new self-perception as autistic, she struggles to be perceived as a "normal" mother in front of the social worker and society, although the term "normal" has always been difficult to define for her and her son. Told with humor and authenticity, the series takes viewers on a journey through the daily challenges and victories of people on the autism spectrum. ASPERGIRL not only highlights the difficulties of dealing with prejudice and misunderstanding, but also celebrates the unique perspectives and talents that Louison and Guilhem bring to their community. Through the eyes of Louison and Guilhem, the series offers a deep insight into the lives of people who are often perceived as different and advocates for a world in which everyone has the freedom to be themselves without having to conform to restrictive norms. ASPERGIRL is thus an exploration of identity, family and belonging, wrapped up in a story that both touches the heart and makes you think.
