I’m autistic and I tend to think a lot about the ways my therapist interacts with me. When she uses certain exercises and they work I always want to know the logic/study behind how it works. I find it really interesting. We talked on boundaries and self disclosure which led into her saying she takes everything I say at face value and uses direct communication with me since that’s what works best for us.

I’m wondering now being in a therapist role do you change how you’re speaking to someone? If you’re a direct person by nature would you have to sideline that for a different approach if needed?

I’m really interested in psychology and therapy overall. I don’t wish to be able to read my therapists mind but I do wish I had all the knowledge she does and how she untangles a lot of topics over multiple people.

I’m a college freshman and studying compsci. It’s been my dream to become a video game developer. I’ve looked up to a lot of indie creators/studios my entire life.

Studying compsci though I’m unsure if i’m completely cut out for it. I’m somewhat slow to learning things like coding while others i know catch on pretty quick.

Are there any alternative routes that lead back to this field? I find there are a lot of negative people on here when it comes to this conversation.

I think about things that I want to do and nothing to me tops creating a game which is why I don’t want to give up on it. I have creative skills like piano and art but I don’t think a creative arts major would get me far.

To preface I REALLY want to become a video game developer. I chose compsci for this reason i’m finishing out my first semester of classes and second guessing now. I feel like coding is interesting enough when I understand it but outside of that I find a lot of the regular tech stuff kind of boring.

I take my first video game classes next semester I’m hoping that those I really enjoy. I’m nervous I’ll end up going through this major and thinking the entire time “i’m ready for this the end”

I don’t think any other major would be well geared towards video games as far as I know. Nor could I see myself enjoying doing anything else. I do have one other profession in mind but it requires a masters so I still have to think over bachelors.
