Donna is the author of 9 (at last count) books
about autism; everything from her own
experience living with autism to how parents and
professionals can under-
stand and assist those living with it. She has
been an invaluable re-
source and friend to Sydney and I through her
writing and her consultation services which
she provides (along with information, articles,
her paintings, sculpture and music) on her
website:
This Original Sketch Portrait of my daughter,
Sydney was done by Donna Williams. She
sketched this portrait from a photo I emailed
to her.
