What happens when the world moves to a rhythm you can't follow? Disonante is an intimate journey through the experience of growing up and living while feeling out of sync in a world that demands harmony. With a poetic, honest, and deeply vulnerable voice, the author opens the doors to her inner universe to reveal what is not always seen: the invisible effort to fit in, the weight of the social mask, sensory overload, and the constant negotiation between being and appearing. Far from clinical definitions or academic explanations, this book tells the story of autism from the inside. From the library turned sanctuary, the lights that burn and the noises that tear, to anxiety about the uncertain, misunderstood literal thinking, love lived by different rules, and data transformed into a language of affection. Each poem and fragment is a shattered mirror that, when pieced together, builds an identity that has learned to accept itself in its difference. Between internal storms and moments of clarity, Disonante speaks of the exhaustion of running an invisible race, the fear of not belonging, and the courage it takes to remove the armor. But it also celebrates intensity, creativity, deep loyalty, and the beauty of perceiving the world through different shades. This is not a book about labels. It is a book about existing. About claiming the right to be without apology. About understanding that dissonance is not a mistake in the score, but another form of music. A poetic testimony that invites those who have felt different to recognize themselves - and those who haven't, to look beyond stereotypes.
