Summary/Abstract: This article examines the microsociological perspective present in Eliza Kącka’s Wczoraj byłaś zła na zielono (Yesterday You Were Angry in Green), read as an essayistic novel, drawing on the dramaturgical models of Erving Goffman and Arlie Russell Hochschild. It reconstructs the concept of otherness developed by the novel’s author, highlighting not only the ways in which it is produced through social interactions and therapeutic discourses, but also how it is sustained through parental authority. Julia Miele Rodas’s concept, proposed in her book Autistic Disturbances: Theorizing Autism Poetics from the DSM to Robinson Crusoe, serves both as an endpoint and as an alternative framework for thinking about autistic otherness.
