Fabien Toulmé, sa BD poignante sur la naissance de sa fille trisomique

This week, I'm joined by Fabien Toulmé, author of the graphic novel "Ce n'est pas toi que j'attendais" (It Wasn't You I Was Expecting). In it, he recounts motherhood, the birth, and the early years with Julia, their little girl who has Down syndrome, which went undetected during the pregnancy. In this interview, Fabien shares his own journey with remarkable perspective, from his initial fear of Down syndrome before having children, to accepting this child, whom he wasn't expecting, or at least, not with this disability. We'll revisit this whole story together, the story behind this very moving graphic novel, but also the before and after of the comic, and how he's doing now with his two teenage daughters. A huge thank you to him for sharing his story, thank you to Yannick Lejeune for connecting us, and thank you also to Evane for suggesting I interview Fabien on my Discord server. Take 5 minutes to join my community here:   / discord  . You can download a small program to install on your computer or tablet. We chat about my podcast episodes and lots of other things.
