Biography

Gunilla Gerland was born in Stockholm, Sweden, 13 July 1963. Her father left the family, and her mother became a mentally-ill alcoholic.[1] Her 1996 autobiography entitled A Real Person: Life on the Outside (original Swedish title: En Riktig Människa), describes growing up with Asperger syndrome in an unsympathetic environment.[2][3][4][5][6]

She has continued to write[7] and also lecture[8][9] and debate on Asperger syndrome and the autism spectrum. She works as a counsellor and educator in the field in Stockholm.[10] Her writings have been cited in work concerning the autism spectrum[11][12] and autism-related problems such as prosopagnosia,[13] in addition to ways in which autism is analysed and discussed.[14]
