''Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's'' is a ''New York Times'' bestseller by John Elder Robison, chronicling the author's life with Asperger syndrome and tough times growing up. ==Story== Published in 2007 on the Crown imprint of Random House, ''Look Me in the Eye'' describes how Robison grew up as a misfit in the 1960s, at a time when the Asperger syndrome diagnosis did not exist in the United States. The book describes how Robison learns to fit in, without actually knowing why he was different. His situation was made even more complicated at times by his neglectful and abusive father and a somewhat crazed mother. After dropping out of school, he had a sudden fascination with sound engineering and electronics.〔(''Look Me in the Eye.'' ) Kirkus Reviews. July 15, 2007. Posted online May 20, 2010.
