"Jeg er autist" er Hildur Grauslund Nielsens rørende, poetiske, til tider triste, men også underholdende fortælling om at leve sit liv på kanten af samfundet. Hun ser sig selv og andre autister som katte i en verden af hunde. Mellem 1 og 2 procent af verdens befolkning har autisme, og 30 procent af alle mennesker har et eller flere autistiske træk.

Hildur Grauslund Nielsen har Aspergers syndrom, som er en profil på autismespektret. Som mange andre autister har hun særinteresser.
