A STORY

My life with autism

“boarding school”

ENYA MONA #autisme

The school I went to in high school wasn't really around. That's why I went to boarding school for several years, seven years to be precise. From the age of 12 to the age of 19, I've been there. But it wasn't just a boarding school, but a special one for people with autism.

So during the school weeks, I was always there. On weekends and holidays, I went home again. The pictures you see next door are the boarding school where I sat (I drew them myself). It didn't look like a typical boarding school, but it was a cozy terraced house. You can walk past it and you can't even notice it's a boarding school, but that's the good thing about it. Everyone had their own room, too.

I've learned a lot in the years I've been there. I got guidance and we could always go there with questions. I also made friends there for life. And what I like most about it is that they also have autism, so you don't feel alone. Because I think there are a lot of people with autism who may not know other people who have it.
