John Elder Robison explains life as an Aspergian

“If this trac­tor would have sex with you, would you get rid of your wife?” Augusten Burroughs

“Well pos­si­bly, or maybe for a freight loco­mo­tive.” –John Elder Robison

I love this. I wish I could get my sis­ter, Andrea, to explain in writ­ing what it’s like to be a per­son with intel­lec­tual dis­abil­i­ties. That, how­ever, would be a much longer YouTube video. :)
