Next Week: Life with Asperger’s Syndrome
February 21st, 2008
We talk with John Elder Robison about his wonderful memoir, LOOK ME IN THE EYE. Brother to best-selling author Augusten Burroughs (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS), Robison has written a sweet and poignant tale about growing up with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. From the inside, he reveals what it’s like to be a misfit, the savant-like talents he feels Asperger’s gifted to him, and how he trained his brain to overcome the condition’s deficits.
