Hi, I'm new here.

:)

I haven't even started reading what other people do in these intros, (I know, bad.) but here goes:

I'm in my early 40s and I'd finally accepted that I've been struggling with depression my whole life, and it wasn't going to magically go away. Meds don't do much but without them, I can seesaw pretty badly...

So, after a few years on antidepressants, and a few runs through counseling, I recently ended up seeing a new psychologist.

The first five minutes of conversation led her to ask a question I'd never even considered:

"Do you have Asperger's?"

Well, the fact that I'm here probably indicates that the answer is yes, but I haven't been diagnosed 'officially' yet, but I have an appointment for a full battery of screenings, ASD, ADD, ADHD, cyclothymia and more in a couple weeks.

So, hello, I'm Chris.

Right now, I'm kind of in between obsessions.

Was video games for a while, then amusement parks for a long time, then salt water fish for a year or so...

I'm a full time college student right now, and as much as I wish I could say that I'm focused on that, I'd be lying. :)

Right now, I'm 'officially' undeclared, but that's just because I'm still at a community college. The program I'm in, however, has the unwieldy name of:

Associates in Science, Direct Transfer Agreement - Track II: Civil, Mechanical and Other Engineering

Blah. I'll be a Civil Engineering major if I ever get into one of the 4-year schools.
