	Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic
	Amherst native John Robison will read from his new memoir, Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger’s.   Robison, a machine aficionado, a photographer, husband, & father, writes about growing up with Asperger’s syndrome — a high functioning form of autism — overcoming his limitations, & ultimately becoming a successful adult.   Augusten Burroughs, writing in the book’s foreward, said “Of course this book is brilliant; my big brother wrote it.   But even if it hadn’t been created by my big, lumbering, swearing, unshaven ‘early man’ sibling, this is as sweet & funny & sad & true & heartfelt a memoir as one could find, utterly unspoiled, uninfluenced, & original.” The reading will be at Amherst Books 8 Main Street Amherst, MA 01002 on Wednesday, December 5th at 8:00 P.M..
