For anyone who reads original poetry, this is an excellent read.
Donna Williams has a unique talent for creative writing and this
collection of poetry takes the reader on a journey of powerful
emotions. The poetry is good, unusual and full of personal feelings
experienced by the author. The poems are sometimes tear-jerking and
at other times so full of humour that you want to laugh out loud.
This book leaves a deep and lasting impression, helping to break
down the barriers we all feel safer using when thinking of people
who are 'different'. The author shows us that she is an individual
and competently takes us into her confidence until we see clearly
how she sees, making the reader question their own view of life.
The poetry is original in its own use of language, the author
making us see the world from a different angle in poems like
`Peace' in which she describes her addiction to fear and
`Terrorist' in which she explains some of her anger and
frustration.' - Good Autism Practice Not Just Anything is a mosaic
of logic, passion and philosophical musings by Donna Williams,
sometimes jolting, sometimes moving, often illuminating. In it
Donna takes you on a poetic adventure into places past, present and
beyond. Often intertwined with the world of autistic experience,
her writings divulge with immediacy, a person in the grip of
overload and shutdowns, of extreme sensory and emotional highs and
passions, of alienation from self, from body and fear of the
intensity of emotion, of the struggle to know self, to communicate,
to comprehend. At other times, her writing somehow transcends the
often assumed limitations of autism, and she dissects so many of
the concepts we take for granted, bringing us face to face with our
own social constructions of `reality' and so called 'normality' in
a way only Donna can.
