Praise for this book

"This book deserves every superlative a reviewer can muster."

-Boston Globe

"By illuminating her own unique perceptions, she allows us to understand our own perceptions as never before...And oh, can she write."
-The New York Times Review of Books

"The artistically gifted Williams continues to build a bridge between 'my' world and 'the'world."
-Publishers Weekly

"Somebody Somewhere...provides a shining light into the dark mystery of autism."
