Look Me In the Eye: My Life with Asperger's
Author: John Elder Robison
Publishing Info: Hardcover 304 pages / September 2007
Look Me in the Eye is the moving, darkly funny story of growing up with Aspergers at a time when the diagnosis simply didnt exist. A born storyteller, Robison takes readers inside the head of a boy whose teachers and other adults regarded him as defective.
Ultimately, this is the story of Robison’s journey from his world into ours, and his new life as a husband, father, and successful small business owner—repairing his beloved high-end automobiles. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien, yet always deeply human.
