    College and university

    I'm curious. I've read several posts on here saying that it took them longer than required to finish and graduate higher education. To clarify my curiosity, I never went to college or university, so I really don't have a clue how those schools work. I have done some correspondence work, work...

    Struggling With College/School

    So I have only recently begun to suspect that I am on the spectrum(since around late November). I have talked to a psychiatrist(who brought it up in the first place), my uncle who is a professor at a medical school, as well as my cousin who is diagnosed with aspergers. All of them agree that I...

    College studies stress me out

    I've been a college freshman for almost a year. My college ranks 2nd in my country, so it's not that easy to get good grades. I worked very hard in the first semester, and passed all subjects with an average grade of A-, which made me the top 25% students. In the next semester, I wanted to be...

But it's lead to a pathological fear of all people...
