An inspiring story
May 26th, 2008
Never underestimate the power of a good book; a good piece of literature will not fail to touch the lives of those who understood its message best.
Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a rare disease that though has been discovered way back in 1944, remains alien, or rather, foreign to most people until now. AS has a lot to do with skills in social deficiencies, thus it is hard to manage because it manifests itself in a different manner. It is indeed different, in comparison to the other neurological disorders that are more “well known”, so to speak. Because of the vagueness of this disease, it is rarely heard or mentioned in the popular media.
One book which tackled the issues involved in AS, the difficulties, the hardships, the inspiring stories of a person who had to grow up with this rare disease, is the book Look Me In the Eye. A brief summary of this book is written below:

Look Me In The Eye
What better way to tell a poignant tale than a personal; narrative? Look me In The Eye is a touching novel authored by John Elder Robison about his experiences as a child who grew up with AS. Although he was diagnosed only during hios forties, the discovery that he was “different” and his acceptance of his disease set a good background for the plot of this story. Inspiring and poignant, this novel will make you give life your best shot–whether you have AS or not.
