About me:
I am the author of Look Me in the Eye, a book about my life with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. LMITE was an instant NY Times bestseller, and was named one of the Best of 2007 by Amazon.com. It's available in bookstores everywhere.
Foreign editions are available in Australia (a RH bestseller for almost six months), England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Brazil. Translations for Italy, Malasyia, China, Spain and Portugal are coming.
My next book will delve more deeply into issues of Asperger's and autism, and it will hbe illustrated by more of my entertaining stories. Look for the paperback release of Look Me in the Eye this September, and my next book later in 2009.
I'm a public speaker, and an advocate for people with neurological differences. I'm a supporter and promoter of increased tolerance and understanding.
Here's my regular blog which I try and mirror here on myspace. However, the Blogger version has more action in the comments.
I'm also a photographer. I specialize in unposed performance images. I have a particular interest in circus, music, and theatrical performances. You can see my photos at www.pbase.com/robisonphoto
Finally, I'm a car enthusiast, with a special interest in Land Rover, Bentley, and Rolls Royce cars. I have an automobile business that you can visit here: my car business
Here's a sort of index for me, on the Internet:
