Hi all,

I recently went to a psychologist to see if there was any reason i wasn't doing well in school lately. I got through high school without doing any work, got into engineering, got through first year with somewhat low-average marks without work because i found it easy enough, then flunked most of first semester second year (the one that just finished). he said i've got mild ADD, and mentioned something about AS (something like mild AS or tendencies towards it), i get the full report in a few weeks.

anyways upon hearing this i started reading a bunch of stuff about AS, read a bunch of posts here and realized there are a bunch of people who are very similar to me and exhibit alot of the same issues that i've faced.

anyways long story short, i'm here, hi

p.s. I'm from Ottawa, anyone nearby?

Welcome,

AS, you need the education. Sort it around and make that come up first. The rest takes time.

Lots of Engineers here.

i meant to add that i don't blame my lack of success on my add or AS, i blame it on my lack of good work habits/study skills. i didn't need to develop them during previous schooling so i didn't have them when i needed them.
