Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's by John Elder Robison
Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's

essie, June 8, 2008

I found this autobiographical sketch more helpful to my diagnostic ability than all the papers I'd read on Asperger's Syndrome. John Elder Robison lets you see, hear and feel the nature of this condition in a way that makes it immediately recognizable in others. When I closed the book I had made two diagnoses in adults who were happy to have a name for their difference and to know they were not alone. Both of them immediately read and treasured this book.

Nicky Epstein is endlessly inventive. She has unusual finishing details for every type of garment and knitting situation. Illustrations are beautiful, instructions very clear. A classic series.
