Podcast 62: Life With Asperger’s (original) (raw)
We talk with John Elder Robison about his memoir, LOOK ME IN THE EYE. Brother to best-selling author Augusten Burroughs (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS), Robison has written a sweet, compelling tale about growing up with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. From the inside, he reveals what it’s like to be a misfit, the savant-like talents he feels Asperger’s gave him, and how he overcame the condition’s deficits and celebrated its gifts.

We also talk with Free Press director Josh Silver about new developments in the fight to preserve net neutrality.
