Hello all, my name is Jack Robison.

I dropped out of high school in 11th grade due to my incompatibilities with the public school system. From there, I got a GED and enrolled at a community college (majoring in chemistry, specializing in organic). Currently, I'm in the process of enrolling full-time at UMass, where I'll continue perusing chemistry.

I was diagnosed with asperger's at some point during high school, which explained some of my non-normal traits. I've also been involved with the TMS lab at harvard medical, which I'll elaborate on more in a different thread.

On a complete side-note, here's a synthesis I designed this semester as my final project in organic:

WELCOME TO WRONG PLANET.

Glad you finally made an account.
Sort of surprised actually.

It's always super amusing to me to type to someone who's sitting right next to me...............I feel like this is the epitome of lame, but whatever :lol:

Hi! Has anyone asked if you're related to John Elder Robison? He is the brother of the author "Running with Scissors" and has his own book "Look me in the Eye"?

Nice to meet you!

I won't go into any questions about what it was like growing up, but I will say that I hope we continue to correspond!
