I am thrilled to announce that Donna Williams - one of the world's most celebrated women on the autism spectrum - will be online all day on Friday, September 20, 2013 to answer your questions. Her thought-provoking paper on 'Autism and dissociative processes' is available to read right now at www.awares.org/conferences as soon as you register on the conference site. You can also, of course, exchange views with one another in the forum before Donna logs on. The online conference is open to everyone, so please do let your friends, colleagues and networks know about this exciting event, which is part of a series of prestigious monthly online conferences run by Autism Cymru, Wales' pioneering national charity for autism.

Born in Australia in 1963, Donna Williams was eventually diagnosed as autistic in her twenties. 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 and runs her own website www.donnawilliams.net. 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.org
