A year after her diagnosis, her international bestseller, Nobody Nowhere, was published which she followed over the years with three sequels, Somebody Somewhere, Like Colour To The Blind and Everyday Heaven.She went on to become an international public speaker and to write four textbooks: Autism: An Inside-Out Approach, Autism and Sensing: The Unlost Instinct, Exposure Anxiety; The Invisible Cage and The Jumbled Jigsaw, as well as having a book of poetry and prose published in 2004 called Not Just Anything. She is also an accomplished sculptor, painter and composer. Recently, together with her husband, Chris Samuel, she helped create the world's first international on-line self-employment facility for people on the autistic spectrum at www.auties.orgDon't miss this unprecedented opportunity to put your questions to Donna Williams on April 16, 2008 - and please let anyone else know who might be interested.The seminar will open at 12.01am British time on April 16, 2008, and will run throughout the day until 11.29pm UK time that day.You can register right now for this event at www.awares.org/conferencesBest wishes,Adam Feinstein________________________________________AWARES Conference Centrehttp://www.awares.org/conferences
