Be different by john elder robison

Media Reviews

"Recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand Aspergian children and adults." - Kirkus Reviews

" ...provides incredibly helpful advice to families learning to live with these challenges.

Robison’s clear writing provides substantial insight into the mind of someone whose disorder makes clarity very, very difficult...a valuable read." - Booklist

"For anyone who has difficulty fitting in, this book is fantastic." - Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures

"In a love poem to his wife, Pedro Salinas, the Spanish poet, wrote, 'Glory to the differences / between you and me.' John Robison teaches us to celebrate differences like Salinas did, but also offers clear insight and valuable advice on how to cope with the challenges that being different can create.

This book transcends the specific case of Asperger's syndrome and is a lesson in humanity and the human condition." - Alvaro P
