I am a former SLC student now studying at Laval University. Last summer, I lived in Senegal for two months. I met an incredible family, and I am now trying to help people over there. I am thus collecting cans and bottles. I will bring the money with me this summer, as I am returning to Senegal mid-July 2016. All the profits will be donated to the parent association in Lalane-Diassap, a small village of around 370 people, whose goal is to send children to school.

Congratulations Victoria Grondin!

Her book will be released on April 7, 2016 and she will be at the Salon du livre de Québec.  She wrote her book in hight school and signed a contract during her first year at St. Lawrence. She is now in her second year in the Social Science program. 

Her book is about autism, a subject she has been studying since 2013.  

Here is what is written on the back cover: 

Imaginez un instant un univers où les rôles sont inversés. L'intégralité de la population est née avec un trouble du spectre de l'autisme. La société est parfaitement fonctionnelle, conçue en fonction des besoins de ses individus.

Ensuite, il y a vous, tout petit vous, qui venez au monde. Vous êtes, dans notre monde à nous, parfaitement normal. Par contre, dans cette histoire, vous êtes handicapé. Un cas lourd, difficile à encadrer. C'est le monde à l'envers.
C'est la difficile réalité que vit Guillaume avec beaucoup de difficulté, jusqu'à ce qu'il fasse la rencontre de Grace, une jeune fille pas comme les autres.

Grâce à une perspective nouvelle, Victoria Grondin propose une touchante réflexion sur l'autisme et notre façon de traiter ceux qui en sont atteints. Un livre qui porte à réfléchir.
