Book Reviews of Nobody Nowhere: the Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic
Book Review: inside the head of autism - one person's journey
Summary: 5 Stars
I was mesmerized the first time I read this enchanting book; not only was the subject matter interesting and well represented, the selection and particular combination of word choice makes beautiful reading.... she could write about underwater basketweaving and make it magical, so stunning is her prose; I use excerpts from this book with my students as an example of beautifully written, highly descriptive (in an innovative way) writing. She takes the reader on an intense, personal journey inside the mind of autism and rewards them with a new comprehension and understanding. I love the way she so matter-of-factly expresses internal thought processes using such original language. This book provides a new appreciation of verbiage for readers and will whet their appetite for more.
Summary of Nobody Nowhere: the Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic
"This is a story of two battles, a battle to keep out 'the world' and a battle to join it."
She inhabits a place of chaos, cacophony, and dancing light--where physical contact is painful and sights and sounds have no meaning. Although labeled, at times, deaf, retarded, or disturbed, Donna Williams is autistic--afflicted by a baffling condition of heightened sensory perception that imprisons the sufferer in a private, almost hallucinatory universe of patterns and colors. Nobody Nowhere is Donna's story in her own words--a haunting, courageous memoir of the titanic struggles she has endured in her quest to merge "my world" with "the world."
