Summary: "Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits had earned him the label "social deviant". It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It's a strange, sly, indelible account - sometimes alien yet always deeply human." - BOOK JACKET
