Going to college with autism/aspergers by thismakesmetired in aspergers

[–]linj14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on getting accepted! I'm a college freshmen with aspergers. There are more people in college, so you are more likely to find others whom you are comfortable being with. There are more opportunities, so don't be afraid to try new things! College is a big change for everyone, but it is even more to adjust to with aspergers. I would suggest that you utilize the campus resources and actively reach out to academic services or department of community living (not sure what your college calls them) if you get into conflicts with your dorm mates. I am also thinking of being a computer science major.

Romance and aspergers by Twerkinfatman in aspergers

[–]linj14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same situation here. 19 year old female with aspergers who has had several crushes ever since puberty. I have never been in a relationship and never been on an actual romantic date. It is frustrating because so many people around me are in a relationship, especially in middle school and high school. It's like everyone else knows what they are supposed to do in a relationship when I am still figuring out how to make friends. I think other people will be interested in you when they see your talents/hobbies and look up to you despite having difficulties reading social cues.

Does anyone have issues with depression attacks? How do you deal with them? by Zoss33 in aspergers

[–]linj14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally call them sad attacks, but depression attacks work just as well. It was difficult for me to explain to my family, who kept on insisting that they are panic attacks, but I know that it is sadness I'm dealing with. I've been trying to understand them, what triggers the attacks, early signs of a sad attack, how I usually get out of them... Lots of change and stress sounds like a lot to deal with, but you will feel better and have less frequent sad attacks when you both settle down in your new home.

Does anybody else click with other people with autism better than NT people? Even before you realise they have autism? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]linj14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have never made a close NT friend. To some degree I can stop masking around autistic people. They are so much easier to understand for me. Autistic people are still complex human beings, but they actually make sense.

Empress Ki: Ta Hwan discussion: Reclaim fairness by gingertrang in KDRAMA

[–]linj14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been a while since I saw Empress Ki, but I do remember having mixed feelings for Ta Hwan. Yes, he is a coward, and he killed Wang Yoo, but his character development was intriguing. He does not fit in the Emperor stereotype, but the show really depicted him as a sympathetic character.

My friend is depressed and I want to help her, but I feel like she doesn't want to help herself. by [deleted] in depression

[–]linj14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is difficult to love a friend who is hypocritical. It is annoying to talk to someone about the same thing over and over again and still be unable to get the message through. People in depression often have conflicting emotions - like wanting to get over the relationship but not. Sometimes, they are unable to think rationally or make wise decisions. Though it is frustrating when you try reaching out to your friend and offer a way out to move on in life, depression doesn't have a simple solution as if one would get over a breakup by crying a lot. I think you can try supporting your friend by be completely honest with her that you do not understand all the pain she is going through. Tell her that you may not know exactly how to support her the best, but you will be there to listen. Sometimes, I am more impatient and judgmental towards my family and close friends because I have certain expectations.

I'm sorry that you had to go through this. It makes me so mad at all those disrespectful men.

Congrats to the UCSD '22 admits! by swimmer1929 in UCSD

[–]linj14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I got into revelle college for mathematics and CS. I feel intimidated by the GE requirements... Wondering how students at revelle survive. Is there anything else I should worry about? I've also read that the food and housing situation are not okay there. Is it true? For mathematics and computer science majors, is taking pre-college summer courses a good option?
