Summary Of Asperger's By John Elder

Figuring out life can be one of the most difficult things that one must accomplish. As many people are victims of complaining about their lives and how nothing ever seems to go their way, we become self-centered. There are people in the world like John Elder Robison who not only was trying to figure out life but was also trying to figure out why he never could accomplish what was considered “normal”. As the readers learn throughout the book all about John Elder’s life and how he conquered it while having an undiagnosed case of asperger’s. Throughout his memoir, the readers are given several life experiences that John Elder has happen to him.

Being a reader who has several anxiety and mild depression, my understanding of the book was a lot different from other people’s that I have talked to about it. This memoir seems that it could be a quick read where you can easily just read through it and have no problem getting it done in about a couple of hours. Although it took me a lot longer to read than planned it was a read that was interesting and that you had to read slowly to be able to grasp all that was going on.
