I am absolutely freaking out with excitement...John,<br />I am absolutely freaking out with excitement. My son was diagnosed with Aspergers in June '13. At the time I looked up books about it and yours came up, so I put it on my wish list. This week I found myself wondering seriously if my husband has it, and your book was suggested by a woman online whose husband has Aspergers. I recognized the cover and immediately bought it. When I realized your brother wrote the series of books I devoured this summer I was even more intrigued- it was as if I was meant to find your book. NOW THIS. I read the part about your tinkering with audio equipment and fixing and modifying it for musicians. I thought, my father's best friends Terry Sherwood and Al Miller did this in the '60s!!! Terry founded MXR with Keith Barr and my father and mother worked with them, helping with packaging. We have old MXR shirts that we treasure. My father died in 99 at 50, and we recently lost Terry, who I considered a second father, My question is did you know them since you had the same interests? I am dying to know!<br />-Amanda Stark Kirkebye, Pittsford, NYAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437572490955403483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-24147746815379630922014-08-31T02:12:27.295-04:002014-08-31T02:12:27.295-04:00I'd just gotten married for the second time an...I'd just gotten married for the second time and had started a new job.
