From the time he was three or four years old, John Elder Robison
realised that he was different from other people. He was unable to
make eye contact or connect with other children, and by the time he
was a teenager his odd habits - an inclination to blurt out
non-sequiturs, obsessively dismantle radios or dig five-foot holes
(and stick his younger brother in them) - had earned him the label
'social deviant'. It didn't help that his mother conversed with
light fixtures and his father spent evenings pickling himself in
sherry. Look Me in the Eye is his story of growing up with
Asperger's syndrome - a form of autism - at a time when the
diagnosis simply didn't exist. Along the way it also tells the
story of two brothers born eight years apart yet devoted to each
other: the author and his younger brother Chris, who would grow up
to become bestselling author Augusten Burroughs. This book is a
rare fusion of inspiration, dark comedy and insight into the
workings of the human mind. For someone who has struggled all his
life to connect with other people, Robison proves to be an
extraordinary storyteller.
