News from my other job
Yesterday I arrived at my other job – operating Robison Service, our car company in Springfield – to find a letter from the General Counsel’s office of Porsche Cars , North America.
Small business owners have learned to be wary of letters from Counsels General, as they usually involve trademark violations, libel allegations, class action lawsuits, or other Bad Things.
With some trepidation, I opened it.
And I read . . . .
How the writer loved my book, especially the parts where I talked about my love for old Porsches. I also read that the writer was surrounded by Aspergians, and she anxiously awaited the release of my next book.
Look Me in the Eye has touched so many people. It’s just the most remarkable thing.
It makes me proud to be an Aspergian.

But you are like he, so talented and knowledgeable in many many things. I fear a misdiagnoses more than I fear the Asperger's. Such beautiful, creative minds you both have. So powerful and unlimited your possibilities.

Way to go John!
i'm just at this part in your book--the part where you find the Porsche in the Private Preserve For Kids. LOVE the book !! LOVE IT!!
You are a kind, gentle giant with the sort of instant likeability that can be found on every page of your book. I'm not surprised by your success. Not one bit.
Woof!
We're still in Disney. I will blog the lost child in the 2000 room hotel when we arrive home.
WOOF!
You just hear so many stories; people go to Florida with three kids and come back with two and then you read about the families that go with one and return with three.
And of course in a place like that some of the kids are turned into stones, or even dogs. If I were a kid, I'd stay clear of any Magic Kingdom for that very reason.
I just finished your incredible book. It's given me so many insights into my son and his way of experiencing. We're pretty hard on each other right now; I just want to find the best way(s) to make him feel safe being who he is, and to get past our current mutual frustration. It's a work in progress - like an old Porsche I guess.
