I'm getting an AAS in accounting then transfering to a four year university to get my degree in actuarial science and economics (that's one degree) so my degree will be technically both mathematics and economics.
What can I say, math does it for me. |

| I'm an accounting major so I was wondering about this. I love the actual hands-on stuff I do for my classes (I've learned I'm even more of a hands-on learner than a visual one!) but I worry about my abysmal (but maybe getting better, I have no way to tell, I work around techies all day) social skill... |

| I have a lot of stims myself. My most common are rocking, grinding my teeth (very bad for me, I was told at the age of 23 that I had the tooth wear of a forty year old), popping my joints (also very bad for me, I have joint problems), and chewing on my shirt collars (bad for my shirts). I also did q... |

| Oh yes. I have a general fear that if nothing is wrong something is going to go massively wrong too. I associate that less with being autistic and more with years of abuse, anxiety and depression though. |

| I sleep 7-8 hours a night and take a nap when I can. I'd like more naps because my daytime sleep seems to help regulate how well I cope with different things. I'm tired pretty often too. |
