Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “deeply felt and often darkly funny” (People) memoir about growing up feeling different—and finally being diagnosed with autism at 40 “Lean, powerful in its descriptive accuracy, and engaging in its understated humor . . . Emotionally gripping.”—Chicago Tribune Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.
