<p><font face="Verdana">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 &quot;war against the world.&quot;??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.<br />

<br />

?? 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.<br />

<br />

?? <em>Nobody Nowhere，</em> 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.<br />

<br />

?? The poetic sensibility and extraordinary insights of <em>Nobody Nowhere</em> make it inspiring reading for everyone.<br />
