Default Any SA autobiographies?

Anyone know any autobiographical type books about SA, shyness etc.

I've read 'A Child Called It' by Dave Pelzer. Not really SA but he suffered an unbelievable amount of abuse from his mother.

Torey Hayden was a teacher and therapist with emotional disturbed children - Her books are about her work and although it is often about abuse, she writes in an uplifting way. To me (this will sound sad) she comes along and makes the world better. I am really in love with books there awesome, truly are "goes and digs out tiger child book for yet another read"

For SA i would recommended One child then the squeal "Tiger Child". Silence Boy is another
But to be honest i would just read them all there amazing! Tiger child for me relates to me a lot, i've read it so many times i can't remember.

i think we should collaberate on a book about SA.
we can use Q & A format
& incorporate all of our experiences...(names changed)
like it?

Not an autobiography but December by Elizabeth M Winthropp about a girl who becomes mute.
Also A Moment Like Forever by Martina Reilly about agrophobia.

A lot of autobiographies by people who have had addiction problems have some elements of SA in them.
