Making the tough choices

Donna Williams
Choices are like shopping, they are a supermarket. Some products will have too many additives and overpower the real subtleties and tastes with what's imposed.

Some products will be too candied, too salted, others all wrapper and More...no care or thought about the product's taste and texture under the wrapper.

Some products over priced, some cheap and tasting cheap, some come with strings attached, some are being given away with buy one get one free the deal is so bad.

Some products are great but hard to find on some shelf up too high or out the back or crowded out by everything put infront of it, and some overfeed you and some leave you underfed.


Some come with home delivery that you don't want, some come with no carry bag or smiley service...

If we are lucky, when faced with choices in the supermarket of life we will see the product that feels 'just right' for us (regardless of advertising) and it will likely not be too much or too little of anything.

Donna Williams

I'm known as 'the arty autie' and have been described as the embodiment of creative chaos

.

I'm an international bestselling author with 9 published books.


I've been a public presenter since 1994 and an autism consultant in the field of developmental differences since 1995.


I'm a qualified teacher with a background in sociology but largely I'm a prolific, fairly mad artist and singer songwriter with the band, Donna And The Aspinauts since 2008


I was assessed as psychotic at age 2 in 1965 when I was also thought deaf and tested for leukemia (I have Primary Immune Deficiency since 6 months old). Although I had stored speech (delayed echolalia), I was still tested for deafness till late childhood by which time I was labeled disturbed. It was then that my meaning deafness became understood and I was helped to discover interpretive meaning and with it, functional language. I was diagnosed with autism in my 20s.


Today I'm a bestselling author with 9 published books (all with Jessica Kingsley Publishers), an artist, screenwriter, autism consultant and public speaker. I live with my wonderful husband Chris Samuel in the hills, in Australia.
My website donnawilliams.net features my art works and books as well as articles and events and my blog.

I helped found an international self employment site for people on the autistic spectrum at www.auties.org and anyone autism-friendly is welcome to help us build a more autism-friendly world for what is one of the most under-employed groups of people the world over.




See you there.
