More DescriptionEver since she was a little girl, Donna knew that she was different. She thought there was in fact something wrong with her. Buffered by a boisterous family and a twin sister who spoke for her, no one seemed to notice but herself. She seemed to blend in to normal life and even excel at it, until life brought her one injury, illness, surgery and life-changing procedure after another. By the time she had undergone head-to-toe surgeries, she believed that her childhood fears were not only confirmed, but worse yet, she began to think not something, but everything was wrong with her. Thanks to the very difference she had suspected since she was a little girl, she was able to learn life lessons from each surgery and ultimately discover the mystery surrounding her unique brain and way that she saw the world around her.That mystery is autism. It has been and remains her nemesis as well as her mentor, her kryptonite as well as her superpower.
