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

" Food for thought, especially for teachers or family members who live with an Aspergian. "

" Good book about an "autist". "

" I find it easier to relate to children, especially those with asperger's, after reading this book. Thanks to the author for that. "

" I read this on a whim after I saw a friend that said it was good. I know some people with Asperger's and so I thought it might be interesting. The story of this man's life is very interesting, though at times heart-wrenching what he goes through. A very good read. "

" This was one of the best books I have read in a long time. This was not a dry, psychological text book about Asperger's Sydrome, but an emotional, insightful point of view from the author about his life, the struggles he endured and how he adapted his life so that he would fit in and be socially acceptable. He has great stories to share. I laughed out loud and even shed a tear at the end. I highly suggest this book to everyone. "

" This is a must read for everyone. Enlightening. "

" Amazing book, loved hearing about Asperger's from an Aspie, helped put a lot of things in perspective for me! "

" Right up my alley. Good book, but I enjoy his brother's writing a little better. "

" Very interesting and insightful book about living with Aspergers. A must-read for teachers. "

" I enjoyed this book very much! John Elder describes his life with Asperger's with humor and candor. "

" funny, true, interesting, hopeful, great! "

" I loved this book. Smart, funny, brilliant. I suggest it to everyone "

" Great story! Educational for me! "

" Very insightful and honest. I am always intrigued by adults that are diagnosed with Aspergers. For work, but also personally. I'd highly recommend. "

" Great read and insight into living w/ Asperger's from childhood thru Adulthood. Written by the brother of Augusten Burroughs (my fav. author). "

" If you work with children with Aspergers this is a great book to help understand how they're feeling. "

" I read this years ago. Definitely made me laugh out loud, and cry a bit. His matter of fact descriptions of his life helped soften the outrageous episodes that compose it. Worth reading to get a window look into the feelings behind the actions. "

" This is a great memoir. It was also interesting to see how his skills and and traits changed as he got older and changed his experiences. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes memoirs or reading about psychology. "

" I really think everyone should read this. I loved it! "

" Wonderful, sad, funny, insightful, enlightening. I learned a lot from this book. "

" Interesting story about growing up with Asperger's and living with it as an adult. This story would have been a good read even without the added complication of ASD. "

" Readable account of an interesting life. "

" I read this book in two days. Easy read and hard to put down. The story gives the reader a first-person perspective on growing up with and finally being diagnosed with Aspergers. This guy has had an amazing life. "

" An excellent memoir. I've yet to read an autobiography by a person with Asperger's that didn't strike me in some way. Robinson's experience with lower ed really bothered me, as well. A very good book about tenacity and finding one's niche. "

" Good insight into my quirks for me and my neuro-typical partner! "

" Loved it!! note that this is Augusten Burroghs brother "

" I am almost finished reading this. I know that when you are reading a good book you feel like you can't put it down. With this one, it's so good that I find myself spacing the reading out in longer increments so that I can have just a little more time with it. I have grown attached. "

" Having a child on the spectrum it was a timely read. It was comforting to hear the thought process that goes on within John Elders mind....any insight is helpful. "

" Robinson's journey to a successful adulthood, after struggling with undiagnosed Asperger's and an incresibly dysfunctional family, makes for a great read. "

" Excellent book. Stories are amusing, interesting and short and to the point. "

" Loved it. Very different from Page but as good. "

" well written perspective of an adult living with Aspergers. For the time it gave a totally different view then any other works on the market and it was a refreshing view. "

" Great insight into the world of autism. "

" This gives a really good understanding of how someone with Asperger's may think. "

" I did a whole bloody review and it disappeared. <br/>When I stop being cross about it I will write a proper one. Maybe.<br/>I wish there was an automatic save function as there is on some blogging sites.<br/>Hate hate hate losing a review. "
