We are pleased to invite you to meet Daniel Tammet, author of Born on a Blue Day!
The event will be autism-friendly (neurodiversity-friendly) and will be simultaneously interpreted from English into Slovak. The aim is to allow people with exceptional perception of their surroundings to attend the event and to provide a safe and welcoming environment throughout the evening.

In his autobiographical novel, Born on a Blue Day, he tells the story of how epilepsy, synaesthesia and Asperger’s Syndrome profoundly affected his childhood. Daniel Tammet’s motivating story is also about how he was able to grapple with life without losing his own face.
