So to start, I have adhd (diagnosed) and am very likely (not officially diagnosed) on the autism spectrum. I recently switched majors to EE and insight on the group work specific to EE would be helpful as well.

As much as I try to put myself out there I struggle incessantly with social relationships which worries me regarding future group work. I have pretty poor motor skills, and often just cannot function outside my bubble.

I am called an “atypical” case for one reason, I’ve always done well academically. I have no concerns of my ability to fight through my solo course work, I know to fight like hell when I need to.

However I also have the all or nothing mentality, easily spiral, am very neurotic, or as my roommate would put it “am autistic as fuck”.

I am honestly a little lost whether I should quite now because of my social handicap and pursue something less innately social or push through

Since starting college I’ve gotten really depressed and lost interest in all my hobbies - video games included. I feel starting again could help, but ye process of starting a game, getting though the tutorial and so on feels insurmountable though that’s probably the depression speaking. How can I reinvigorate my interest? I havnt seriously sit down and played a long term game in at least 4 months

Im a freshman electrical engineering major stuck on how I should proceed following my passions. As much as I like engineering, I cannot help myself thinking that my true interest lies in biology/med school. I’m taking cell bio this semester and want to take more but given my path that’s would be extraordinarily difficult.

I could theoretically take orgo 1 next semester leaving gen chem 2 for a later date (ap credit, not offered in the fall) and such but my path is very unclear. So I’m just left wondering what to do, I made an appoint with the pre health advisor for this week but I doubt they’ll be of much help.

I do not want to major in bio in the case I end up not going to med school - a bio degree without further education is practically worthless in the field. I also do not want to do biomedical engineering as niche engineering degrees don’t generally have the best job markets.

I know the elephant room here is my gpa, I don’t doubt I’ll graduate with a 3.5 or higher (which I know is the bare minimum for med school). Is pursuing both sets of requirements really insurmountable?
