From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Robison's thoughtful and thoroughly memorable account of living with Asperger's syndrome is assured of media attention (and sales) due in part to his brother Augusten Burroughs's brief but fascinating description of Robison in Running with Scissors. But Robison's story is much more fully detailed in this moving memoir, beginning with his painful childhood, his abusive alcoholic father and his mentally disturbed mother. Robison describes how from nursery school on he could not communicate effectively with others, something his brain is not wired to do, since kids with Asperger's don't recognize common social cues and body language or facial expressions. Failing in junior high, Robison was encouraged by some audiovisual teachers to fix their broken equipment, and he discovered a more comfortable world of machines and circuits, of muted colors, soft light, and mechanical perfection. This led to jobs (and many hilarious events) in worlds where strange behavior is seen as normal: developing intricate rocket-shooting guitars for the rock band Kiss and computerized toys for the Milton Bradley company. Finally, at age 40, while Robison was running a successful business repairing high-end cars, a therapist correctly diagnosed him as having Asperger's. In the end, Robison succeeds in his goal of helping those who are struggling to grow up or live with Asperger's to see how it is not a disease but a way of being that needs no cure except understanding and encouragement from others.

From AudioFile

Fans of Augusten Burroughs (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS) will enjoy this memoir by his older brother. Narrated by the author, the story conveys with equal measures of humor and pathos the difficulty in growing up with Asperger's--particularly as there was no diagnosis for the syndrome during Robison's childhood. His difficulties and his insights into overcoming them make for a compelling story. Robison makes lemonade from what initially seems like lemons, and, from working on rocket-launching guitars for KISS to owning his own business, his story is unique and compelling. His speech idiosyncrasies would likely hinder the story were they not perfectly suited to the nature of his story. In this case, he's the perfect narrator for a truly original memoir.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Truly Inspiring.....An Eye Opener, Nov. 28 2007
Par Diane Jefferis "Diane" (Southampton, MA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
My son is 35 years old and it wasn't until 11/14/07 that an acquaintance mentioned to me that my son may have Asperger's. I delved into everything I could find online only to come to the conclusion that without a doubt this is what he has. I purchased this book and could not put it down. The similarities are uncanny. This book opened my eyes into understanding the thought process in a different light. John's story is truly inspiring by having overcome so many hurdles and has been a Godsend to me after all of these years. Thank you so much John Elder!

You don't expect a book about Asperger's to be funny, but it is. I loved this book. I have a nephew with Asperger's, and reading this book has helped me to understand him on a human level.

I would highly recommend this book to all schools as a reference, and to anyone who wants to feel what an Aspergian feels. It was a terrific read, cover to cover!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Perspective, Nov. 26 2007
As a mom to a child on the autism spectrum, I have read a lot of books about autism. In my quest to learn as much as I possibly can about how to help and understand my son, I read whatever I can get my hands on. Most of the books I have read are somewhat hopeless and depressing or are from a parents perspective. John Elder Robison is aspergian, and he is writing from his own experiences. He really explained the reasoning behind some of his behaviors as a child, and they totally made perfect sense to me. This book is funny in parts, sad in parts, but very real and very enjoyable. Plus the fact- you get to hear about John's adventures on the road with Kiss.
