An enjoyable and helpful read. As the mom of a quirky kid I loved the idea that Asperger's is a way of being rather than a disease. It was a treat to be allowed inside the mind of someone with Asperger's to begin to understand their point of view and reasons for acting in certain ways. The growth of Robison's social skills gives a hopeful message and his preference for happiness over genius was personally affirming. I didn't need quite so much detail about building special effects guitars for the band KISS, but as I would be polite and listen to someone in conversation about their passion, I made it through that section of his memoir.
