Jam Jar is the classic 1995 autism documentary which features best selling autistic author, Donna Williams.

The author of 10 books (including the international best sellers, Nobody Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere), a prolific artist, singer songwriter, Donna is also screenwriter of the film, Nobody Nowhere now in development.

Jam Jar was filmed in Wales and produced by Channel 4 in association with Fresh Film and screened on TV in the UK.

It follows Donna in her daily life on a farm in rural Wales with her first husband, a man on the autistic spectrum. Here they live according to a different culture and rules that are taken for granted in the world beyond their own. Donna becomes our tour guide showing us the person beyond the labels on the ‘jam jar’.

Poetic and artistic, the film explores Donna’s meaning deafness and meaning blindness in the context of autism and the social, emotional and communication bridges she uses to navigate with the world showing us the person beyond the labels on the ‘jam jar’.

Jam Jar went on to be nominated for the UK's Mental Health Media Award, and was captured in the the book, Everyday Heaven.
