Greta Thunberg: "Easier to speak in front of thousands than to small talk"

Today is March 15, and it is also NPF Day, a day to draw attention to neuropsychiatric disabilities. 

Climate and environmental activist Greta Thunberg herself has Asperger's syndrome, which counts as NPF.

- That's what makes me who I am.

Privately, I'm very shy and I do not like small talk.

Many people with Asperger's syndrome find it difficult to be in noisy environments and large groups.

For Greta, it was a big change to be thrown into the center and speak in front of thousands of people. 

- It was very strange, but I must say that I think it is easier to talk on stages in front of thousands is much easier than to small talk. 

This weekend came the news that a statue of Greta Thunberg will be erected at Winchester University in the UK. 

- You must not take on all this, but you must distance yourself, she says in SVT's Morgonstudion.
