Nobody Nowhere: The Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic

Â Â Labeled deaf, retarded, disturbed and insane, Donna Williams lived in a world of her own.Â Â Alternating between rigid hostility and extroversion, she waged what she termed her "war against the world."Â Â She existed in a dreamlike state, parroting the voices of those around her in the hope that they would leave her alone.Â Â Few people understood her, least of all Donna helself.

Â Â It was not until the age of twenty-five that Donna discovered the word- autism- that would at last give her the opportunity to understand herself and begin to build a bridge to join the world as most know it.

Â Â Nobody Nowhere, Donna Williams' extraordinary autobiography, is her heroic attempt to come to terms with autism.Â Â This eloquent memoir reveals a fierce intelligence, great creativity and much humour.Â Â It will shatter many myths and misconceptions.

Â Â The poetic sensibility and extraordinary insights of Nobody Nowhere make it inspiring reading for everyone.
