Look Me in the Eye

My Life with Asperger's.

From an early age, John Robison struggled to connect with the world around him. As a teenager, his unusual behaviors earned him a reputation as a social misfit. It wasn’t until he was forty that Robison received a life-changing diagnosis: Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism.

That discovery reframed everything he thought he knew about himself—and offered a new lens through which to understand his past.

In this darkly funny and deeply moving memoir, Robison recounts his extraordinary journey, from building pyrotechnic guitars for KISS and working with sound systems for major rock bands to creating a life and family of his own. A natural storyteller, he brings warmth, wit, and sharp insight to a life lived on the margins—and what it means to finally feel seen.
