This autistic girl went to Japan: And you won't believe what happened next (Bianca Toeps' books)
"When Bianca Toeps first set foot in Japan in 2008, she just knew: âIâm going to live here someday.â Flash forward 15 years, and sheâs finally traded her tiny apartment in the Netherlands for an even tinier one in Tokyo. But it wasnât always easy. Between that first visit and now, Toeps was diagnosed with autism at age 26, suffered several burnouts, and switched careers a time or two (or three) before becoming a web developer and a best-selling author. And just when she was all set for the big move, the pandemic derailed everything. Why Japan? What makes it so appealing to someone with autism? Hint: itâs not the anime. And isnât Tokyo way too busy and chaotic for an autistic person? Nope. Has Toeps found her ikigai yet? âUgh, thatâs for old people!â If youâre looking for profound life lessons based on a random Japanese word that westerners have imbued with more significance than most Japanese people do, you wonât find them in this book. No juicy descriptions of âstrangeâ subcultures,
