About me

My name is Paula Tilli, and I was born in 1979. Throughout my childhood, I was wondering why I was not like everyone else and why I had to struggle so much with almost everything. Therefore, it was a huge relief when I was diagnosed with Asperger’s and ADD at the age of 24.

In 2009, I graduated from the two-year-educational program about autism spectrum conditions in Ågesta residential college in Stockholm, Sweden. Today, I make my living by having presentations about what it is like to live with Asperger’s syndrom from the inside perspective. Up until now, I have had presentations in Sweden, Finland and Kuwait. Please contact me by the contact form for price inquiries.

I have a blog (in Swedish).
