Why admiration is not true connection – Polly Samuel (aka ‘Donna Williams’)
I only ever wanted equality… so look across at me, now and later, never up at me… find the sistership in me and you will see why admiration was blocking it.

Hi there,
I already wrote you and told you that your book was some panda enlightened for me. In my opinion it’s not only about autism but also about DID.
I have to go to so many questions and nobody really can answer them because it’s so difficult to decide which problems are caused by trauma and dissociation and which could be a sign of autism.
I do know I survived abuse and violence.
Years ago I was diagnosed by DID, I know it’s true although it took several years to life get to know the first characters.
Some months ago I got to know not to stick girl of who I am sure that she’s very intelligent although she can’t speak yet.
I found out we had several things in common. So I tried to start to get a diagnosis. All people around me tell me that it’s impossible to say if there is something in the autism spectrum cuz both have several symptoms in common.
As u can see, I’m able to speak and write. That’s the reason why so many peope can’t imagine that I even COULD be within the spectrum. I know there are missing things. Trauma & DID don’t explain everything.
U’re the only one who seems to know violence and abuse (trauma) since your early years.
I hope the cancer hasn’t won against u and I’d be glad if we could get into contact if u want to. I dunno if I’ll be able to ask my questions. We don’t know each other – and reading your first book about your childhood doesn’t give me the right 2 say “I know u!”
If u, Donna aka Polly would like to write back, even to say “no I don’t wanna write with u!” I’d be glad.
I know my last post wasn’t very “friendly”, I didn’t say good bye.
If u can’t see my E-Mail-Adress cuz someone else is admin, here my E-Mail: Schwanenkinder@gmx.de
This time a warm and shy bye
