Ever since he was small, John Robison had longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” No guidance came from his mother, who conversed with light fixtures, or his father, who spent evenings pickling himself in sherry. It was no wonder he gravitated to machines, which could, at least, be counted on.
After fleeing his parents and dropping out of high school, his savant-like ability to visualize electronic circuits landed him a gig with KISS, for whom he created their legendary fire-breathing guitars. Later, he drifted into a “real” job, as an engineer for a major toy company. But the higher Robison rose in the company, the more he had to pretend to be “normal” and do what he simply couldn’t: communicate. It wasn’t worth the paycheck.
It was not until he was forty that an insightful therapist told him he had the form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way Robison saw himself—and the world.
Look Me in the Eye is the moving, darkly funny story of growing up with Asperger’s at a time when the diagnosis simply didn’t exist. A born storyteller, Robison takes you inside the head of a boy whom teachers and other adults regarded as “defective,” who could not avail himself of KISS’s endless supply of groupies, and who still has a peculiar aversion to using people’s given names (he calls his wife “Unit Two”). He also provides a fascinating reverse angle on the younger brother he left at the mercy of their nutty parents—the boy who would later change his name to Augusten Burroughs and write the bestselling memoir Running with Scissors .
Ultimately, this is the story of Robison’s journey from his world into ours, and his new life as a husband, father, and successful small business owner—repairing his beloved high-end automobiles. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien, yet always deeply human.

阿斯伯格综合症是自闭症的一种,读这本书之前,这个医学术语对我来说是完全陌生的,对于普通人来说,自闭症,仅从字面就可以理解其意,而阿斯伯格综合症却让人感到很费解,甚至会出现已经患了此种精神疾病的人自己并不为所知的情况,如同本书的作者,就是一位在相当长的岁月中...
评分这本书的作者跟他弟弟(写出Just Do It广告词的家伙)可以说是励志和猎奇的标杆了。他们的爹酗酒、家暴,妈妈发现自己是女同性恋,父母都经常出入医院和精神病机构。作者小小年纪就离家出走,一度住在树林里;他弟弟更惨,被妈妈甩给一个疯子一样的精神病医生照顾和虐待。可就...
评分放下KISS的事情不管 所有關於"我"的描寫就足以說明什麼叫做阿斯伯格綜合癥了 其實不會看別人臉色又怎麼了 關鍵在於活在自己的世界里很開心 這病不用治也沒法治 就像藥物作用下寫出來的歌一樣 書是在患者筆下寫成的 原汁原味算不上什麼好的形容詞 但也還恰當 的確 不是所有人...

评分鉴于儿童AS描述性的语言极其差,家长不能完全了解到他们的思维逻辑,行为缘由,看这本书可以了解童年AS看待世界与众不同的方式,从而找到可以借鉴的方法。 尤其是前几章对于攻击行为,叫不出同学名字,单向交流等问题,都找到相应的原因,推荐AS儿童家长必看。
