Also because of her notoriety, much attention has been given to the symptoms she has manifested and linked to this syndrome: obsessive-compulsive disorder, selective mutism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Very often this information is used to discredit it or to refute its environmental ideas. She herself mentioned her condition in some interviews.

To decrease the ecological footprint of her family, she insisted that her relatives become vegans, as she has become. She is the author, together with her family, of the book Our house is on fire, in which her life is told with some anecdotes of her family; only in a small part there are references to his commitment to environmental protection.

Greta Thunberg spoke clearly to the world's greats and thus began her battle against climate change, arguing that "nobody is too young to make a difference". The "school strike for the climate" of a lonely and young student in front of the Swedish Parliament has become a global message that has involved hundreds of thousands of young people all over the world who follow her example on the occasion of the #fridaysforfuture. Greta has started a revolution that does not seem destined to stop, a battle to be fought for a future taken from the new generations at the furious pace of the 100 million barrels of oil consumed every day.

Our house is on fire is the story of Greta, her parents and her sister Beata, who like her suffers from autism spectrum disorders. It is the story of how a Swedish family has faced an imminent crisis, the one that has swept our planet. It is an awareness of how urgent it is to act now, when nine million people die each year from pollution. It is the "cry for help" of a young girl who convinced her family to change her life and is now trying to convince the whole world.
