Notably known for his extraordinary career in the 12 strokes of noonPaul El Kharrat is now a flagship columnist for Laurent Ruquier for the show The Big Heads. If everything seems to smile at the ex-candidate of the game hosted by Jean-Luc Reichmann, this does not prevent him from living in peace with himself. In particular because of the disorder he has always suffered from.
Suffering from Asperger’s autism, this disorder does not make life easy for him and Paul El Kharrat, if he finds it difficult to talk about it out loud, wanted to evoke it through his book, Welcome to my world: me, Paul, autistic Asperger, published by Harper Collins, which appeared on October 12. A book that allowed him to reveal a “certain truth” on his person as he confided to our colleagues from Telestar.
Write to “liberate” yourself
“To restore some semblance of truth. Existence is far from easy for me”, he confessed to our colleagues when they asked him why he wanted to write this book. Before indicating that he wanted “to express my emotions, which are not always rosy, but also a dull anger and a darkness inherent in my condition. I am not only the smiling and kind Paul, but someone who is attacked and, at times, aggressive . I want the whole planet”.
Strong words, which Paul El Kharrat managed to put on paper and which also acted as therapy for the ex-candidate of the 12 strokes of noon. Indeed, the chronicler of Big heads admit it, it did him good to write “even if it tired me a lot to do this introspection”. “I was not there to write about myself for good, but only to bring a stone to the building of understanding myself. There was some censorship so that people would not feel attacked by reading it “he finally concluded, always with the same frankness.
