Her 1996 autobiography entitled A Real Person: Life on the Outside (original Swedish title: En Riktig Människa), described growing up with Asperger syndrome in an unsympathetic environment.[1][2][3][4][5]

She has continued to write[6] and also lecture[7][8] and debate on Asperger syndrome and the autism spectrum. She works as a counsellor and educator in the field in Stockholm.[9] Her writings have been cited in work concerning the autism spectrum[10][11] and autism-related problems such as prosopagnosia,[12] in addition to ways in which autism is analysed and discussed.[13]
