This is a fascinating and funny memoir of a man who grew up a misfit only to figure out late in life that he was afflicted with Asperger's syndrome. Older brother of Augusten Burroughs, John knew he was different. He dropped out of high school and discovered a genius for electronics. When he was in his forties, the discovery that his eccentricities had a name gave him the confidence to work on his social interactions. This is a compelling story that helps the reader understand someone struggling with a disability.
