Alexandra Reynaud was born in 1979 in Salon-de-Provence, France, into a unique family. She discovered her giftedness at the age of 29, after it was identified in her then four-year-old son, and was later diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome - a form of autism without intellectual disability or language delay - combined with the High Intellectual Potential (HIP) identified earlier. She is the creator of the blogs “Les Tribulations d’un Petit Zèbre” (“The Adventures of a Little Zebra”) and “Les Tribulations d’une Aspergirl” (“The Adventures of an Aspergirl”), where for over nine years she shared slices of life alongside in-depth information on neurodivergent profiles such as HIP (also known as giftedness, referring to a high or very high IQ), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD), and various "Dys" learning disorders. In the mid-2010s, she entered the publishing world with her first book, published by Eyrolles: “Les Tribulations d’un petit zèbre: Épisodes de vie d’une famille à haut potentiel intellectuel.” In 2017, with “Asperger et fière de l’être: Voyage au cœur d’un autisme pas comme les autres,” Alexandra Reynaud became the first autistic woman in France to publish a solo testimony—without a co-author—about her diagnostic journey, how the condition shapes her daily life, and what her difference brings her. After several years as a public speaker, she stepped away from both blogging and conferences to return to university and research. Now living in a village in the Bourbonnais Mountains of Auvergne, this Asperger’s woman devotes herself entirely to writing. She now balances two roles: that of author and novelist, and that of doctoral researcher. Her current dissertation is entitled: “Does Autism Really Exist? Ontological Exploration and Epistemological Rupture at the Boundaries of ‘Neurodiversity’.”
