Nobody Nowhere: The Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic Girl
Author: Donna Williams
Desc: "This is a story of two battles a battle to keep out 'the world' and a battle to join it." She inhabits a place of chaos cacophony and dancing light--where physical contact is painful and sights and sounds have no meaning. Although labeled at times deaf retarded or disturbed Donna Williams is autistic--afflicted by a baffling condition of heightened sensory perception that imprisons the sufferer in a private almost hallucinatory universe of patterns and colors. Nobody Nowhere is Donna's story in her own words--a haunting courageous memoir of the titanic struggles she has endured in her quest to merge "my world" with "the world."
