Book Reviews of Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's
Book Review: Look Me in the Eye
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a 10 year old son with Aspergers and I can relate to almost every page. John Elder Robinson is a great story teller and relates his own experiences very well. I feel like I'm looking in the head of my own son when John Elder tells how he felt during different situations. I would recomend this book to every parent of an Aspergers child. I will also recomend it to my doctor who has been telling me for seven years he will teach me about Aspergers 15 minutes at a time.Book Review: Enlightening book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for anyone who is living with or knows someone with Asbergers. The descriptions of his feelings and life experiences gives great insight into how Aspergian minds work. It makes it much easier to understand the Aspergian and why they do and say the things they do. At the same time, it's entertaining. This book gives you a little bit of everything, comedy, drama, information, etc. I highly recommend it.Book Review: Excellent book and service
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great! The moment I started to read it, I realized that my boyfriend has Asperger's (as does his son). I now understand his social "quirkiness." He doesn't believe he has Asperger's but he does. I believe a lot of adults have Asperger's but are "diagnosed" with something else. Adult Asperger's needs to be examined more closely.
Great book, great service. Thank you!!!

Book Review: A New Way of Looking at the World
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book to get more insight into how my son sees the world. I got more than I bargained for. I laughed, cried, and was able to have discussions with my son with a much deeper appreciation for his struggles as well as his strengths. The book would be a good read even if you don't know anything about Aspergers. However, if you know someone with Asperger's, the book really does help you understand.Book Review: Very well written
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book in about a day. It is well written and thought provoking. After reading this book, I went out and bought his brother's book "Running with Scissors". Also a good book I can reccomend. Robison gives us an amazing look at the inside of an autistic person's mind with great wit. I hope he has more to write. His life and mind are truly fascinating.
