When someone looks her in the eye, Christine feels like they are looking into the depths of her soul. She describes herself as "autistic and disabled" and daily life is a struggle.

Charlotte, a PhD student at the University of Toulouse, describes how she would try and fail to make friends by copying how others behave.
