Product Description

Review

'Nobody Nowhere tears aside the veil that conceals the mind of the autistic person. Donna Williams' account has the magnetic and unrivalled power of authenticity ... this book is absorbing, disturbing, enriching and it will cause many to substantially revise their views of what it is that constitutes psychological normality.' - Professor Anthony Clare - 'Donna Williams isn't just teaching us what it is like to be autistic, she is teaching us what it is like to be human.' - The New York Book Times Review (of Somebody Somewhere)


Product Description

This is the last of three volumes of autobiography, in which Donna Williams recounts the story of her struggle with autism. Following on from "Nobody Nowhere: The Remarkable Autobiography of an Autistic Girl" and "Somebody Somewhere: Breaking Free from the World of Autism", this volume tells of Donna's relationship with Ian, a man with difficulties similar to her own. She describes how they learn to admit to, and live with, their feelings for one another, as they search for a true sense of self.

First Sentence
The manuscript for my second book, Somebody Somewhere, was almost finished; it was a photo album of my journey from 'my world' to 'the world,' in which I took the reins out of the hands of my autism and took control of my life. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars couragous book unable to put it down, 29 Aug 2001
By A Customer
this is a book of courage and faith. Once you start to read this book it is impossible to put down. It will have you laughing and crying at the same time. Very moving. recommend that you must read somebody somewhere and nobody nowhere to get the benefit of this womans brave and remarkable life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into the deep, 28 Feb 2006
By M. Louro (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Like Color to the Blind (Hardcover)
If you've read Nobody Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere, this third installment in Donna's life is definitely a must-read (and for those that haven't read the first two, get your hands on them first!). It delves deeper into some of the underlying difficulties in her processing difficulties (food issues, visual processing issues) and delves even deeper into "her world", and everyone, whether on the spectrum or not, will find something to relate to in this profound journey into the human experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like colour to the blind, 28 Feb 2006
This review is from: Like Color to the Blind (Hardcover)
Donna Williams wrote her third book in 1996, and it is mainly about her marriage to Ian, who is autistic like her. Also her fame is growing a lot and at the beginning she examines her various roles and her motivations for doing things. This is a central part of Like Colour for the Blind because she is looking at the way her compulsions drive her and Ian. They create rules for each other so that they can show their real selves to each other and other people. Malvern House is a particularly interesting setting and the Irlen glasses are prominent, as is a young man named Alex who uses facilitated communication. Donna shows her nurturing and encouraging side.
