In childhood, Donnu Williams was called deaf, then uncontrollable, mentally ill, backward, crazy ... She lived in her own world, the world of other people seemed to her complete dangers. For Donna, not only touches were unbearable, but even friendly views and feelings of people. It was even worse for her to express her feelings and interests, she managed to interact with the outside world only with the help of formed phrases and ready -made scenarios. Donna hid her "I", his real person under masks of fictional characters - socially acceptable, but absolutely insensitive. Cut off from the outside world and from her own "I", Donna, in her own words, was “nowhere else”. She painfully rushed between the two worlds, fighting to join our world - and at the same time stay away from it. Separated from our world, incomprehensible to her, she lived - as he herself says - "in the world under the glass".
No one else "is a difficult book, alarming, touching, sometimes heavy, and sometimes ridiculous. The story of the soul of a person who lived in the world of "autism" and survivors - despite the ill -owned environment and on a terrible inner chaos. This book tells how, overcoming obstacles, Donna learned to live on her own, entered the university and graduated, and then wrote her remarkable autobiography. Subsequently, a continuation of the book appeared-"Somebody Somewhere" ("someone somewhere"), which is still waiting for its translation into Russian. Now Donna is the author of nine books that have become international bestsellers, artist, author and performer of songs, screenwriter. One of the most famous people with autism in the world, Donna acts in different countries with public lectures, has been working as a teacher, and since 1995 - an autism consultant.
Having read this book, many of us will significantly revise our views on what the mental "normality" represents
