Hi everyone here. I just signed up since I figured it would be good to talk to people who understand what it's like being "different." I recently got a report of my counseling from college and noticed Asperger's as a suggestion. Funny it wasn't even mentioned to me, but I suppose they worried more about the depression.

well how about a little on me? mid-twenties, male, still struggling to finish undergraduate classes...I made high school my b!tch, but after that it all goes to hell. Currently looking for something to get re-energized and motivated for, and a plan for therapy. I read, listen to music, play video games, work on computers, interested in cars, like to work out, shoot pool, occasionally drink and laugh and try to forget...
Anything you wanna know? just ask me.

Hi and welcome.

What's your major/degree? Is it not something you can get excited about?

Thanks you 3.

Apera - It's a complete failure of motivation for life in general. Occasionally, there are bright spots but they always fizzle after a few weeks.

My college timeline:
biochemistry > mechanical engineering > math + computer science > computer engineering

in as many or more different schools. Only recently I found out about AS and seems to explain soooo much. Trying not to get over the hump of feeling like the last 6 years been wasted spinning my tires and not knowing the problem, let alone how to get help.
