Self-identification
Simone in 2012

In 2011 Simone told Time Magazine that she initially self diagnosed with Aspergers after failing to find a doctor within 500 miles of where she lived who would believe her.[8] In a December 2014 blog Simone wrote that between her writing and treatment as well as dietary changes, her symptoms had diminished to the point she did not feel she qualified as a person on the spectrum.[9] However, she later realized that she remains a person with Asperger's, and most recently has been working in France to reform the treatment of people with autism in that country.[10]

On August 12, 2016, she gave an interview on the Everyday Aspie website where she explained that her self-diagnosis was not officially confirmed and she did not feel the need to be evaluated.[11]

She changed her name in 2017 and now publishes under the pseudonym Artemisia.[12]

Awards

Aspergirls won a Gold Award from the Independent Publishers Group in 2011,[13] and Asperger's on the Job won Honorable Mention in ForeWord magazine's 2010 Book of the Year Awards.[14]
