"In honor of World Autism Month I have asked Random House to put the ebook of Look Me in the Eye on sale for $1.99. ..."

Apparently, it worked. I don't know that it will stay at this price for the entire month, but it's a great book and this is a great price. I checked for it in the US -- I don't know if the price has dropped at sites for other countries.
Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find.” —from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs
Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.
