Donna Williams was born in Australia in 1963. She was assessed at age two as psychotic, labelled disturbed and tested for deafness throughout childhood before being diagnosed as autistic in 1990. Today she is an internationally best-selling author with nine published books, an artist, singer-songwriter and emerging screenwriter. One of the most well-known people with autism in the world, Donna is a renowned international public speaker, a qualified teacher and has worked as an autism consultant since 1995.
''This book deserves every superlative a reviewer can muster.'' -The Globe and Mail ''To be able to do what [Donna Williams] has done, by age 27, and to write about it so poignantly and so articulately is to function on a higher level than most 'normal' folk achieve in a lifetime.'' -Boston Globe ''By illuminating her own unique perceptions, she allows us to understand our own perceptions as never before...And oh, can she write.'' -The New York Times Review of Books ''The artistically gifted Williams continues to build a bridge between 'my' world and 'the'world.'' -Publishers Weekly ''Somebody Somewhere...provides a shining light into the dark mystery of autism.'' -Detroit Free Press
