NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find.” —from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. 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.
IF ONLY YOU BELIEVE I heard a rose can grow out of the concrete and a flower can bloom in the darkness, a fairy can ride a unicorn and a mermaid can bring laughter and happiness. They say you can be blind as a bat or as strong as an ox, you can live in a enchanted forest with dwarfs and dragons and save a beautiful princess with golden locks. Travel through space with aliens and robots, or sail the seven seas and fight pirates, gargoyles, or a cyclops. You can fly on a magic carpet and make a wish with a Genie in a lamp, converse with zeal around the fire at camp. Look for the abominable snowman camouflage in a blizzard, dance in the courtyard with jesters and cast spells with a wizard. A mystique to mystify like Houdini with another trick up his sleeve but you can have anything if only you believe....................
