MARIA è una bambina autistica che ha un talento speciale per ricordare i nomi delle persone. Per comunicare meglio con lei il padre Miguel Gallardo (illustratore per «New Yorker» e «Herald Tribune»), disegna le persone che fanno parte della vita di Maria: sono le immagini che compongono questa graphic novel intitolata Maria e io (pubblicata in Italia dall’editore Comma 22). Il libro, con l'apparato narrativo del fumetto, spiega l’autismo agli adulti, attraverso gli occhi di una bambina.
