Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's

by John Elder Robison

And now I know it is perfectly natural for me not to look at someone when I talk. Those of us with Asperger’s are just not comfortable doing it.

In fact, I don’t really understand why it’s considered normal to stare at someone’s eyeballs.

Many people with Asperger’s have an affinity for machines. Sometimes I think I can relate better to a good machine than any kind of person.
