marco Report post Posted December 28, 2008 hi everyone, I'm marco. I'm dx AS, had lots of horrible experiences but am fairly happy now... panic attacks excluded. I'd really like to hear from aspies at uni who might be in the same type of situation that I am - at the mo I've had to take time off due to meds side effects etc... I hope everyone had an xmas as stress free as possible. m. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScienceGeek Report post Posted December 29, 2008 Hey Marco, I'm a student at uni at the moment. What are you studying? SG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marco Report post Posted December 29, 2008 I'm writing a doctoral thesis on psycholinguistics. I did a Bsc and Msc in psychology. But I also can't ask for a coffee in a cafe without wretching and staggering out like a monster from a horror movie... and it looks so easy when other people do it.

marco Report post Posted December 29, 2008 Wow! That is great, the studying part. I'm doing my foundation year at the moment and am going on to do psychology next year any advice you want, just ask me... and then it would probably best if you did the opposite. But seriously, I had a hell of a time. I'll be happy to give any advice I can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted December 29, 2008 Hi Marco, welcome to the forum Linguistics is my subject too. I don't have AS but as a parent of an adult daughter who is hoping to go to university in the near future I take a keen interest in the experiences of people like yourself. I hope your time off has been helpful, K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
