I wrote Like Colour To The Blind to voice three very controversial areas that I felt strongly about; the visual fragmentation of visual perceptual disorders, the importance of augmented and alternative communication systems for voiceless people and the search for selfhood buried underneath stored learning, something so many people struggle with in silence until its often too late.

Like Colour To The Blind is the third book in the autobiographical series and like each book can be read as a stand alone book. Dared into marriage with someone also on the autism spectrum, Donna finds herself living with Ian in a small cottage in Essex. They develop a camaraderie with Alex, a teenager with autism, just beginning to find his voice for the first time through typed communication. As the three of them discover the world of tinted lenses they encounter a remarkable cohesive 3D world their own visual perceptual fragmentation has never shown them before. Whilst Donna has spent years tearing down the invisible walls of her Exposure Anxiety, Ian has plans for them to move to an isolated farm in the middle of the Welsh countryside to live with sheep, pigs and a ‘horse that simply is’. A remarkable addition to Donna Williams’ first two international bestsellers in the mainstream publishing world and now sold internationally, you will laugh and you will cry, you will cringe and you will cheer your way through Like Colour To The Blind.

What readers said:

Having a relationship of any kind can be a journey that takes you to places never before experienced. Add to that relationship another component, as in this case, autism, and you will see just how difficult and joyful the journey can be. In Like Colour To The Blind, Donna Williams has mapped out for us what having a loving, trusting relationship is all about. For those of us who take our relationships with others seriously, this book will cause you to take a second look and see there is room for improvement on that journey to experiencing the fullest of what being a “couple” mean.
