Author John Elder Robison Interview

At the recent Melbourne Writers Festival, American author John Elder Robison spoke about his life experiences and his books about Aspergers.  Two of your committee members were lucky enough to listen in person.

John's latest book, Be Different: Adventures of a Free Range Aspergian, is a very entertaining and positive look at life from inside Aspergers, with plenty of positive and useful advice. 

The ABC recorded the one hour interview, and have since screened it on their channels.  It is also available on their Big Ideas Website, at http://www.abc.net.au/tv/bigideas/stories/2011/09/26/3325779.htm  Here you can either watch the interview, listen to the audio only, or download the entire video file.

It's well worth the time.

We have both of John Elder Robison's titles in our library, Look Me In The Eye (2008), and Be Different (2011), both published by Random House, Sydney.
