In early 2011, Robison's guide for people with Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Be Different, was published. It includes what things to say in social situations, how to fit in, and some of his experiences that were not expressed in Look Me in the Eye.
Robison currently lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, and is still continuing his activism across the country.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“There is probably not more than one hundred dollars in cash in circulation today. That is, if you were to call in all the bills and silver and gold in the country at noon tomorrow and pile them on the table, you would find that you had just about one hundred dollars, with perhaps several Canadian pennies and a few peppermint Life Savers.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“A worthwhile person seeks not the easy life, for the easy life does not make a worthwhile person.”
—Chinese proverb.
