Somebody Somewhere by Donna Williams

In "Nobody Nowhere" Donna Williams described her life with autism - a life dominated by disembodied pattern, sound, colour and movement, cut off from the incomprehensible actions of others. Now she tells of the four years since the diagnosis for which she had waited 25 years, and her attempts to leave her "world under glass" and live "normally". Donna's decision to leave the comforting isolation of her world has brought both agonies and rewards. She recounts intensive sessions with her therapist, in which she learnt devastating truths behind her misconceptions of the real world; her breakthroughs teaching autistic children; the pain and joy of recognizing for the first time her own emotions; and how she came to learn the pleasure of communicating with others in friendship.
