<p>Neither my engineering professors nor my academic advisor would know enough about my situation in order to talk to the dean. It is not their business. They are not involved in this situation, which is occurring amongst the students behind my back. I had to dump my college counselors because they would not go talk to the dean, because it was not "in my best interests". As a result, I may not be able to get a good-paying part-time job this fall.</p>
<p>The professors have never complained. The other students said that they are scared of the way I act.</p>
<p>So you are supposedly doing something in class to scare the students? Or outside of class? I just would think that if this was something major that was occuring during classes that the professors would notice it, because they do not want disruption in the classes.</p>
<p>If this is a problem occuring in class, then I would think it would be helpful to at least talk to your academic advisor, as they deal with academic issues.</p>
<p>They say that the way I act in general is scary, and that they want to go to the dean or department with a formal complaint about it. No, the professors are too busy giving their lecture to notice anything I am doing.</p>
<p>bio, if you were doing anything serious enough for other students to bring it to the attention of the dean, the professors would notice (trust me - I taught for eleven years). you need to find someone you feel comfortable talking to - someone who will understand the issue and push FOR you, not against you (which seems to be what you're getting from all sides).</p>
<p>I know it is hard to believe, but the students do honestly want me out of the engineering college, and it looks like they will have their way, because my parents do not want me in that environment anymore, even though I am nearly #1 in my department in engineering GPA.</p>
<p>I guess I am just a scary person who cannot help but lose every friend he ever makes within two months, and will never have a real job because my coworkers there will be the same as these students. I am someone who can't get real help because I live in the middle of nowhere (Southern Illinois).</p>
<p>I don't know what I can do, or how to explain it.</p>
<p>Bio, I remember your saying that you were getting the best grades in ECE. I would think that your profs would support your desire to finish up the 17 credit hours and get your degree.<br>
I don't know how you interact with other students, but there must be ways to accommodate the desires and needs of everyone. I also think that it is not appropriate for a college to force a student to drop a course or major unless the student has done something illegal or unethical. Making other students uncomfortable is not one of them.
As for a coach, I don't know how you would go about finding one. In general, this would be someone who could act as a sort of sounding board for you, observe the way you act and talk and give you tips on how to modulate your speech, your behavior, and so forth, to compensate for your Asperger's. Perhaps your psychiatrist could recommend someone?</p>
<p>How are you acting though? What did your friend tell you that this was about?</p>
<p>Is this possibly the same behaviors that the tutoring students complained about?</p>
<p>Beyond an isolated incident at tutoring, I do not understand why the tutoring students or the regular students lashed out at me. I wanted to ask a girl out! What is wrong with that? Over that one incident, all this trouble has occurred.</p>
<p>So this has to do with asking someone out? What does that have to do with the tutoring incident? Or did two separate incidents occur (tutoring and then the girl)?</p>
<p>What was the incident at tutoring? And let me tell you, if it had anything to do with asking someone out, I don't get the commotion...</p>
<p>I wanted to ask a girl out, and she already had a boyfriend. I got a lot of backlash from the other students, telling me to leave her alone, just because I thought she was beautiful and I wanted to ask her out!</p>
<p>Is this the girl that you asked to break up with her boyfriend?</p>
<p>And this is the tutoring incident? No one has anything to do with that - except for the girl and her boyfriend, that is... These people have to chill!</p>
<p>Yes, it is the girl I asked to break up with her boyfriend.</p>
<p>I thought the tutoring was that the students said you were too loud and overbearing at the tutoring sessions?</p>
<p>Now, they're saying it's all because of this girl.</p>
<p>Can you explain exactly what happened and why you think this has to do with the students reporting you to the Dean? A personal issue like this should have nothing to do with classroom behavior. I don't see how that would scare other students into wanting you expelled.</p>
