( ) 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?? 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?? Wow. Definitely recommended reading for therapists and teachers. Maybe not recommended so much for loving parents, because Donna Williams credits her mother's bad parenting for giving her (Donna) the strength to develop her own identity in the world. In that way it reminds me of [b:Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's|454856|Look Me in the Eye My Life with Asperger's|John Elder Robison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1189907494s/454856.jpg|2119898], written by John Elder Robison and influenced by his brother, Augusten Burroughs. Heartwrenching, heartwarming, and educational. This book is a fascinating, courageous and true story by a young woman about her childhood. Donna Williams has autism and yet has managed to develop into a perceptive and thoughtful adult who has the ability to look at her own reactions and write about them in a manner that is accurate and detached and, at the same time, intensely personal and full of feeling. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Nobody Nowhere (1) Onderscheidingen
Labeled deaf, retarded, disturbed and insane, Donna Williams lived in a world of her own. Alternating between rigid hostility and extroversion, she waged what she termed her "war against the world." She existed in a dreamlike state, parroting the voices of those around her in the hope that they would leave her alone. Few people understood her, least of all Donna helself. 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. "Nobody Nowhere, Donna Williams' extraordinary autobiography, is her heroic attempt to come to terms with autism. This eloquent memoir reveals a fierce intelligence, great creativity and much humour. It will shatter many myths and misconceptions. The poetic sensibility and extraordinary insights of "Nobody Nowhere make it inspiring reading for everyone. "From the Trade Paperback edition.
