John Elder Robison is free range Aspergian male who grew up in the 1960s before the Asperger diagnosis came into common use. He knew he was different, but he didnt know why. His social and academic failures would be signs of disability today, but back then, they were just signs of laziness or a bad attitude.
After a long struggle, John dropped out of high school. His school years had ended in failure, but hed been fortunate to find two of his great life interests music and electronics. At age sixteen, John joined his first band as a sound engineer. Within a few years he was building equipment for Pink Floyds sound company, after which he created all the signature special effects guitars for KISS.
