520    John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by 
       the time he was a teenager, his odd habits had earned him 
       the label "social deviant." No guidance came from his 
       mother, who conversed with light fixtures, or his father, 
       who spent evenings drunk. No wonder he gravitated to 
       machines, which could be counted on. His savant-like 
       ability to visualize electronic circuits landed him a gig 
       with KISS, for whom he created their legendary fire-
       breathing guitars. Later, he drifted into a "real" job, as
       an engineer for a major toy company. But the higher 
       Robison rose, the more he had to pretend to be "normal" 
       and do what he simply couldn't: communicate. It was not 
       until he was forty that an insightful therapist told him 
       he had the form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. That
       understanding transformed the way Robison saw himself--and
       the world.--From publisher description.
