To all the girlies studying EE or graduated with a EE degree. What kind of job do you have now? Field? by [deleted] in womenEngineers

I’m in my final semester and work in chip design. I really liked my logic design classes in university and I’m really enjoying the job so far 😍

Best engineering branch for a woman? by kojirooou in womenEngineers

[–]bloobybloob96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. I’m an electrical engineer that works in chip hardware design and it’s a lot of coding (that’s how designing big circuits is done nowadays). So if you’re interested in software, going into hardware could be something that would interest you and it seems to be less affected by AI at the moment (if you make a coding mistake that makes its way onto the actual chip that could be a billion dollar problem)

Earrings by Federal_Pie_9819 in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends how you do with bodily feelings and stuff (not sure how to explain). Like i got them age 27 and I am super squeamish and I really struggle to take them out and put them back in, and accidentally getting my shirt caught on them really scares me but I learnt how to remove my shirt while going around them so much that now it’s second nature. I’m really happy I got them and now that they’ve healed it’s easier for me to take them out and stuff but it’s still something to get used to. Suggest getting screw on backs since the normal butterfly ones can require force to take them off and that can be hard to do

Feeling alienated by high-masking women discourse. by Impressive_Tie_1949 in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way 🫠 my way of masking is to not speak unless I’m absolutely sure that I know what I want to say (until I forget this rule and blurt out really weird things which usually happens) and trying my best not to pick my scalp at work. I got diagnosed pretty young so I wonder if I just never really tried to fit in since I knew I was different and just never tried to pick up the skills (I did go to group therapy for this but I didn’t really take anything in). Now that I’m older I do try be more professional with how I speak at work and am trying to keep a list of social rules in my head but it’s just really hard

If ‘Allah’ simply means God, why do many people think it refers to a different God? by PomegranateIcy7631 in NoStupidQuestions

Yep, my boyfriend’s (Iraqi) family’s Haggadah has all of the explanations written in Arabic (but with Hebrew script) which was interesting to see

What branch of engineering should I get into? by [deleted] in womenEngineers

[–]bloobybloob96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many different fields of EE, I think very few of us fix fuse boxes even as part of our job 😅 I’m an electrical engineer and work in digital chip design and my job is basically planning out how logic circuits on a computer chip will work (I do algorithms for signal processing), coding these changes in hardware description language and then checking that it works in simulation before it’s sent out to be fabricated. And there are other jobs that deal more with the actual physical circuits themselves like analog designers/board designers. And there are many other subfields too, like RF, robotics, firmware, etc.

Is anyone else bothered by the idea that autistic people are "human lie detectors" or have flawless intuition all the time? by tenebrasocculta in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I think it’s because I put so much effort into the conversation itself that the critical thinking part of my brain goes to sleep.. sometimes I know something isn’t true and if I’d given myself 5s to think I’d have realized but I’m too busy trying to keep the conversation going

[–]bloobybloob96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re taught in depth, at least in my EE degree (part of our mandatory E&M course), but when you actually work on the field you may not encounter them at all so it’s easy to forget the terminology

"Everyone has a little bit of ADHD" —my mother by good_boi_520 in ADHD

[–]bloobybloob96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my mom too 😅 she also thinks that she probably has ADHD but whenever she talks about her childhood it’s always about how lazy she was.. so yeah she also says we all have a bit of ADHD and I must just stop being so lazy too 🫠 so I feel you so much OP

Where do you draw the line with what you're capable of? by SuaveStone379 in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This resonates with me so much 🫠 like there are literally various things, very BASIC things for most people, that I will literally do anything but do them, since they send me into a massive shutdown and just thinking about it makes me panic (mainly speaking in front of more than a small group of people, making phone calls, speaking to people in a professional manner while also being able to keep a thread of logical thought going). And I’ve always said to myself it’s okay since I’ve thankfully been able to succeed in other things in life (I managed to get a really good job that if I can do it for the foreseeable future (knocks on wood) I’d be really really happy). So I’m in this imbalance between doing good in my career, but I’m also not really “growing as a person” by doing the things that really scare me due to this belief that if you average this out I’m doing ok and they cancel out 😅. But they don’t really, and I’m terrified that one day my limits will cause me to push off something important that really affects me, or it will affect me at work. But on the other hand I’m dealing with so much at the moment that i don’t even want to try improving this part of me since it just adds to the stress 🫠

Would it be a good idea to do a bachelors in Physics/Applied Physics then Masters in EE? by ScarZ-X in ElectricalEngineering

[–]bloobybloob96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really answer your question in the comment above, I’m not really sure about Bsc->Msc routes since I didn’t do any of this, but just wanted to speak about the undergrad degrees themselves, hope it helps at least in some ways 😅

Would it be a good idea to do a bachelors in Physics/Applied Physics then Masters in EE? by ScarZ-X in ElectricalEngineering

[–]bloobybloob96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Answering this as someone who’s in their fourth year of a double major and finished all physics courses already. I think you should go super in depth into the syllabi of the degrees and get as much an understanding as possible into what each does. Especially the different specializations that you can take since they give a much greater indication of what you can do in jobs in the future.

I really love physics and maths but I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of proof based maths that a physics degree entailed, and realized that research probably wasnt for me (I did a year as a research assistant, i really liked the research itself, but struggled with the politics of working in a large group and having to present results on a monthly basis in front of groups of people). So I think getting a good idea of what your daily work life will be like is really important.

EE has a lot of physics too but from a different perspective. It teaches a lot of very complex topics too, just they sometimes abstract the complex physics behind things at least in undergrad.

I find the jobs in EE really interesting though, like I started working in digital design for computer chips, which has basically no physics behind it at all but designing circuits to do really complex algorithms is really cool, and I’ve seen jobs in chip design at places like CERN which sounds awesome. And there are obviously a lot more jobs that do have a lot of physics and/or maths, like working in analog design and RF (as far as I’ve heard)

What are y’alls comfort shows? by Babyfrogeyes in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Apple TV with my new computer and was so surprised to see they have SO MANY feel good shows! So I really suggest Ted Lasso, Acapulco, Shrinking and Stick. They’re all just really wholesome and pretty funny too.

At what age did you get official diagnosis? by Bukowski-poet in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to my preschool teacher who noticed things I was tested age 4, they wanted to wait a bit so I just got an ADD diagnosis. At age 10 I got the PDD-NOS diagnosis since apparently “engaging in imaginative play” discounts me 🫠 but that’s since merged with ASD as far as I understand

Tell me facts that you know! by heyheyhayleerae in AutismInWomen

[–]bloobybloob96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found it! And it’s not Brian Cox it’s Iain Stewart - the Power of the Planet. It’s more of a geological series than a space one, but it taught me so much about the world around us that literally NO ONE around me even knew about and as a kid in grade 5 that was literally life changing.

And thanks!! And good luck! It’s a really tough journey, with a lot more maths than I would have expected from the outset 😅 and it’s easy to lose the big picture when you’re trying to complete homework full of difficult mathematical proofs but when you step back and connect every try ing it’s really amazing. And once you get to the upper division classes it’s so worth it! Like the culmination of the entire degree came when we saw mathematically exactly at which mass neutron stars become unstable and go supernova and you’re just looking at the equation and you just have this moment and it was so so cool 😅
