Donna Williams was born in a working class suburb of Melbourne, Australia in 1963. Like many people born in the 1960s and earlier, she was diagnosed with autism quite late, at the age of twenty-five. This is Donna's sixth book in the field of autism-spectrum conditions, with her first two autobiographical works, Nobody Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere, becoming major international bestsellers and her two text books shaping much of what is happening in the field today.

Résumé
Exposure Anxiety is an involuntary social-emotional self-protection response that is inereasingly understood as a crippling condition affecting a high proportion of people on the autism spectrum. To many it is an invisible cage, leaving the person suffering from it aware, but buried alive in their own instinctive responses and isolation. This book describes the condition and its underlying physiological causes, and presents a range of approaches and strategies that tan be used to combat it. Based on personal experience, the book demonstrates how people with autism tan emerge from the stranglehold of Exposure Anxiery and develop their individuality.
