An Idiotic Savant

About the Book

In his autobiography, he tells of awaking in a bordello at five years old, the only place his family could afford, placed in various foster homes, and then at seven years old, he was incarcerated in a home for juvenile delinquents. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, characterized with immature behavior and lack of fear of harm, or pain of even fear of death, which led him to experience almost unbelievable adventures: one of which was to love women in a dozen foreign cultures.
