Le coup d’après | Juliette LEPAGE | TEDxLimoges

The music of words she prefers is the kind that doesn't cheat. "Triple A speaker: asthmatic, Asperger's, blind": these are her words. "It's my brand!" And playful, too. 22 years old, a Master's student in Literature & Creative Writing in Clermont-Ferrand, originally from Tours and Corsican by attachment, Juliette Lepage wants to know how far she can go. The question of legitimacy weighs on her, so her life rhymes with feeling, with experiences. She scripts her own adventures. "It's my improvisational syndrome!" she laughs. Whatever you undertake, it's always the same story: for a time, a dream becomes reality; but once the hurdle is cleared, a blank page. Anxiety. Nature abhors a vacuum? Not always, not Juliette's. She throws herself into the void. Passionate about music, literature, foreign languages, and more, I live with my unique qualities, which allow me to open doors where others would have closed them. My boundless energy, my thirst for learning, and a good dose of humor guide me every day. My Triple A (I am Blind, Autistic, and Neurodivergent) won't diminish my zest for life. I'd even say that being Triple A is an undertaking in itself! If I dared, I'd jokingly tell you that my vision is subtle… and that I'm not easily intimidated! How about exploring my world? Together, let's dare to see beyond the impossible, because here, the invisible becomes apparent… This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
