Description

Donna Williams tells her own story of living with autism. She recounts the violence in her family, her mother’s scorn and abuse, her attempts at making friends with the other children, and the personalities that she would invent and pretend to be in order to socialize more easily. Later in life, she successfully graduated from college, but struggled to make emotional connections with other people in her life. Throughout the book, Williams describes her perceptions, thought processes, and internal experiences as an autistic person quite extensively, and in an afterword she shares information and opinions about autism.
