Life With Asperger’s Syndrome
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
When John Elder Robison was growing up, he was unable to recognize common social cues and facial expressions. When he was in his 40s, he was finally diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. Now he says that Asperger’s is not a disease to be cured, but a way of being that needs understanding and encouragement from others. His new memoir is Look Me in the Eye.
