Over de Auteur
Donna Williams was born in a working class suburb of Melbourne, Australia in 1963. Like many people born in the 1960s and earlier, she was diagnosed with autism quite late, at the age of twenty-five. This is Donna's sixth book in the field of autism-spectrum conditions, with her first two toon meer autobiographical works, Nobody Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere, becoming major international bestsellers and her two text books shaping much of what is happening in the field today. toon minder

non ho parole per descrivere la sensazione che si prova leggendo questo libro.....mi sento una nullità di fronte alla normale vita quotidiana e alle sfide insormontabili che alcune persone devono affrontare nei piccoli gesti del vivere.....
Dio nostro, un giorno ci spiegherai perchè a ciascuno il proprio destino??

A first person telling of an autistic life. Searing in parts, heartwarming in others, but always a stark telling of the reality of the author's life.
