I always say that being autistic is like living in a country where you don’t know the language or the culture. It’s trying to decode social codes. It’s not an illness (…) It’s going to be a shift, sometimes the difficulty of social situations, they are quite complicated, This situation alone is very complicated for me; it generates a lot of physical fatigue, lots of recovery. In fact, to be honest, as soon as I leave my house, it’s an ordeal. Everything is complicated (…) It’s an invisible handicap” declared the 37-year-old comedian.
