Saying Hi!

Post Reply New Topic

Hi!
.. Alright, ill write something more!
Im a 27 year old male, i live in Denmark and i am currently earning a bachelor degree in electrical engineering.
Around 10 years ago i was diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder and recieved therapy for learning to deal with my emotional outbursts, i wont bore you with all the details.
I got better and was able to complete highschool and start university, once i started it became clear that i had absolutely no ability to make myself sit down and study (I breezed through highschool without opening a book).

So, here i am, 2 years into my college education, and yesterday i was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome and ADHD...
The good news is that alot of things make sense now that didnt before, the feeling of seeing the world slighly different than everybody else.
The bad news is i have an exam in 6 days and this news didnt exactly boost my ability to concentrate..

Anyways, this was probably way more than anyone actually wanted or needed to know, so .. to sum up:
HI!

Hey skramle welcome.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hey skramle.

Welcome! Out of curiosity, how have you studied while in college? Do you have a good recall memory with the info your professors taught in lecture or something?

hi, skramle. welcome. got any hobbies you can share with us?

Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome!
Since i only just recently learned that i have aspergers i havent really capitalized on what you (i should really start saying we) excel at.
I have a decent memory for things that interest me (I can quote every line from any episode of friends a few seconds before it happends while watching the show, but i cant remember what my professor said in the lecture on monday..).
To answer the actual question: Ive so far gotten through college by relying on logic, and stumbling / bumbling along the way, my GPA is not pretty, but hopefully that will change once i start learning why my head works the way it does.

For my hobbies, well, im studying electrical engineering because i like robots, so my desk has a tendency to look like a warzone whenever i pull out the old arduino components.
I also enjoy reading fiction (fantasy, trashy romance, sci fi) and i probably spend way too much time playing computer games instead of studying..
I like listening to music of just about any genre, can anyone else relate to the fact that heavy metal can actually be calming?
