Pt 5: Donna Williams reads Nobody Nowhere; Autobiography of an Autistic Girl

The fifth of several readings by author, Donna Williams, of her autobiography, Nobody Nowhere; Autobiography of an Autistic Girl.

Nobody Nowhere was an international number one bestseller, with 15 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List and published in 20 languages throughout the world. It has been read by millions of people.

Published in 1991, and although preceded by Temple Grandin's pioneering book, 'Emergence' ten years earlier, Nobody Nowhere was the first autobiography of a person with autism to become an international bestseller and paved the way for many exciting autistic authors to become published.

Film rights to the book Nobody Nowhere were sold to Hollywood producer, Beverly Nero. Later, producers Norman Stephens and Su Armstrong came on board along with talented and award winning Australian director, Garth Davis. Intended for cinema release, the film is currently in pre production.
