Walking in Autistic Shoes: A presentation and question-answer forum with author and autism consultant Donna Williams
Born in 1963, thought deaf and assessed as psychotic at the age of two, Donna Williams acquired functional speech in late childhood and was diagnosed with autism in her 20’s. The author of ten books in the field of autism, an international public speaker and autism consultant, and artist and musician, Donna will provide a fascinating insight into the world of Autism as someone who has actually been there.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
“Never have I sat through a seminar that held me captivated the entire time. Donna is an expert on the subject and if you think you know a lot about Autism then think again”.
“As remarkable a spokeswoman, activist, artist, author, and musician Donna is, her humanity is what really sets her apart; her humor, passion, wit and insight into the world around her; her ability to see beauty in everyday things, her playfulness, her way of being in the world. Donna not only changed the way I see people with autism; she changed the way I see everyone”.
“Donna shares her knowledge with her audience in a way which makes it one to one, when in a room of hundreds. I would recommend her as a ‘never to be missed’ speaker”.
