Username: Jkwon
Gender: Male
Age: 22, b.1996
Location: Cerritos, LA County, California.
Religion: Agnostic Theist, Methodist. Chruch every week. My Mom said she won't pay for my college if I don't go to church with her.

Obsessions/Interests: Tetris! I play so much when I feel stressed or anxious. I play both single player and multiplayer. I can drop over 2 pieces per second at minimum and over 4.5 pieces at maximum.

Notes:
I'm a community college student. I want to get a 4 year degree in electrical engineering since my brother has a degree in mechanical engineering. I am not diagnosed with ASD, I'm in the process of getting an ASD diagnosis.

I dropped out in my final year of high school.
I lived away from my family for 3.5 years. I moved back home because living alone with people that I didn't jive with was too tough for me.

I'm trying my best to reach out to people and groups. e.g. school clubs, meetups via meetup.com, volunteering, non-profit organizations. e.g. STEM societies, Mensa. I can't help but feel that I am on the wrong planet.
Eye contact is every difficult.
The first obsession that I ever had was the eye.
I tried to take my Mom's eye out when I was a baby.


My diagnosis are:
GAD, I have high amounts of anxiety.
MDD, I have had undiagnosed depression since middle school after my father almost drowned me on the bathtub at age 11
For GAD and MDD, I take Prozac 40mg everyday.
PTSD, father also threatened to kill me and hit me on the head when I made eye contact with him.

Hey welcome

When I was a kid I always liked those "Cerritos....Auto Square!" commercials. Now that's stuck in my head again.
