сергей сухенко cyxen — Look Me In The Eye was written by John Elder Robison. He has Asperger’s. Asperger’s is a form of autism, a very high functioning form. People with Asperger’s do well in life, some have very highly specialized intelligence, but they struggle with social norms and emotional cues from others. It was an interesting book because when John was growing up, Asperger’s was a diagnosis that was not well known. As a result, he was often mislabeled as a “sociopath” for certain behaviors, for example, not looking people in the eyes during a conversation. John also had a very chaotic home environment because of his crazy (literally) parents. I enjoyed the beginning of the book because of his logical manner in explaining his childhood and what he thought when he was a child was pretty fascinating. His mother would “pet” him and he really enjoyed that so he thought that is what he would need to do to make friends. Also he would give things his own name, like his brother: Snort his mother: Slave and his father: Stupid. I got a little bored as he got older. He went on tour with KISS, worked in the corporate world, and started his own business. He is fascinated with machines and computers, talents that enabled him to function in society without a high school degree. There was some language. Quote: “As I’ve gotten older, I have taught myself to act “normal.” I can do it well enough to fool the average person for a whole evening, maybe longer. But it all falls apart if I hear something that elicits a strong emotional reaction from me that is different from what people expect.”
