Look Me in the Eye: My Life With Asperger’s by John Robison

I love finding books on the sale table that I may have never come across otherwise that turn out to be amazing.
This is just such a book. Because of my son I am drawn to this kind of book. John Robison is an Aspergian. He was not diagnosed until he was in his 40’s. He grew up being told he was all kinds of wrong and freakish.
His story was so sad and yet not. He is open and honest and blunt and real. The lesson learned here is that we are not all cookie cutter copies of each other, different isn’t bad. Tolerance is not overrated.
