Iris Johansson
Iris Johansson (born April 8, 1945 in Västergötland ) is a Swedish author, seminar leader, mentor and supervisor a. a. of victims of abuse, people with psychological or relationship problems. She lives in Sweden and Egypt .
Iris Johansson is an autistic woman who taught herself from the age of 12 to communicate in such a way that other people would not be disturbed by her illness and that she could communicate in a “normal” way. Her specialty, which she has made as an autistic person , is research into the various types and modes of action of communication between people. To do this, she also falls back on her inner world of experience as an autistic woman, which enables her to take a different view of communication behavior, inner conflicts, interpersonal rituals, etc. The results of this research form the basis for their work today.
Iris Johansson was married for 25 years and has one daughter. Another child died shortly after birth.
biography
Iris Johansson spent her childhood on a farm in the middle of an extended family, which was joined by an even larger collective with social commitment. Her father in particular tried to ensure that she was not excluded from the community despite her autistic behavior. This enabled her to find her way and lead a completely independent life. The father did not even know that she was autistic, but he worked tirelessly to ensure that she came and stayed in contact with other people. She learned to read and write at the age of 14 and after finishing school she worked in a hairdressing salon, later as a pediatric nurse and as an educator in a youth center . She then studied religious philosophy , pedagogy and psychology and directed facilities for difficult-to-educate young people. Her biography En annorlunda barndom is a bestseller in Sweden and was published in German in 2012 ( Eine Another Childhood ).
