Aspergirl on OCS: What is this light comedy about autism?

What is it about?

Lewison, 38, a recently divorced single mother, discovers she has autism spectrum disorder when her 11-year-old son Guillem, who stabbed a classmate on back-to-school day, is diagnosed.

Once she feels free to make this announcement, a social inquiry will begin to determine whether she should retain custody of the child. Lewison then decides to appear as “normal” as possible in the eyes of the social investigator. But neither he nor his family know what it means to be normal.

Aspergona Arriving Thursday, April 6th at OCS Max.

A comedy that is far from clichés

After L’opera, Toutouyoutou, 3615 Monique or even HP, OCS Signature presents its new original series Aspergirl, which follows Louison, a young woman played by Nicole Ferron who discovers overnight that she has autism spectrum disorder.

A diagnosis that allows him to finally express the disorders that have governed his behavior since early childhood. While listening to a podcast about female autism, two screenwriters Judith Godinott and Hadrien Cousins ​​came up with the idea of ​​making a TV series on the subject.

By conducting research, they found how much gender influenced the relationship with autism, with women often being diagnosed less often than men. Over the course of 4 years, the authors conducted heavy documentation and attempted to obtain as many testimonies as possible from women with Asperger’s syndrome in order to explore the construction of Louison’s character.

With a good dose of humor, Judith Godinot and Hadrien Cousins ​​are able to offer us a sophisticated portrait of a woman like no other, far from the usual clichés about autism.

To camp this single mother who discovers at the age of 38 that she has autism spectrum disorder, OCS called Nicole Ferron, an actress first discovered who was recently on the poster for Joyeuse Retraite 2.

His son Gilham is portrayed by Karel Brown, who makes his acting debut here. The cast includes Mustafa Abourachid, Suzanne de Bac and Victoire Du Bois.
