Who is Birger Sellin?
Birger Sellin was the first functionally non-verbal person with autism to become a published author in Germany.
His first work was published in 1993 under the title Ich will kein inmich mehr sein: Botschaften aus einem autistischen Kerker and was soon translated into languages worldwide. Sellin has been a contributing author to other publications since then. He became the centre of an often volatile controversy about the use of facilitated communication as a valid form of communication for functionally non-verbal people with autism. In 2010, Orlai Produkciós Iroda made a monodrama, Nemsenkilény, monológ nemmindegyembereknek, from the book by Henriett Seth F. The script contains excerpts from Donna Williams' Nobody Nowhere: The extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic Girl, Sellin's I Don't want to Be Inside Me Anymore, and Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
