| | Hello everyone! I haven't been blogging very much the last, say, year and a half or so, as I've been pretty busy. Because I want to keep blogging, I want to make an entry at least once a week, which shouldn't be that big of a deal. Sometimes I tend to extrapolate things, or it's because I haven't fully mastered my time management skills. I sometimes wish that I was better at managing my time. Sometimes I feel extremely distracted. It's as if my mind isn't cooperating with my want to read or anything. It's kind of stuck right now. Sometimes I think I have ADD, maybe I could ask my psychologist next week. I guess one cool thing about this year is that now I get to see a psychologist for free once a week now until I graduate, which will be for free. It's pretty nice actually. I never got anything like that before, and it will be nice to get others' input on socializing, or life in general and how to cope with it. Because I'm an aspie, I think I need it a bit more than others. It will definitely help out with things. I'm also going to start a support group at my university for people affected by Asperger's, or any kind of autistic spectrum disorder for the matter. I might get help from University of Washington Autism Center. If they don't offer direct support, at least it will be a little more advice before I actually get started with the group. I think it will be a great resource not only for myself, but for other aspies going to college here. Maybe it could also be open to the community, as there aren't many groups near my area, or at least that are listed. I want it to be a place for people to hang out and for others to know that they aren't alone in the world, which is often what it feels like to be an aspie. Sometimes it's difficult to understand the rest of the world. Sometimes I just want to be in a place where others can understand me. That's why I'm creating this group, because I know that others are wanting the same things as I am. It will take a bit of time to get started, but I think it will be worth it. I want to help other aspies after I graduate, so the group will also relate to my career path. I'm still unsure as to what exactly I would like to be. I'm still majoring in Psychology, but I'm still unsure exactly. If I attend graduate school, I want to go to University of Washington. They're huge on autism research. I don't know how much clinical work they do with autistics, however. I also think that it would be cool to go into research, and help aspies on the side. I like statistics (yet I'm not the best at it yet). I'm also creative, and love asking "What if..." questions. My Psychology advisor thinks that I don't only have to limit myself to Psychology-related careers. I could also get a Master's degree in Social Work, or Special Ed. if I wanted to. I don't want to kill myself on the social aspect of it, but at the same time I'll have to socialize with people sometime lol! My school year has also been getting better, with track over, and the fact that I don't have to interact with Lexie all the time anymore. It's still difficult, but I'm trudging through it.
