>>11776744
You could consider most things an accomplishment. Someone could consider getting their degree in math an accomplishment. Someone could consider getting a PhD an accomplishment. Grigori Perelman considers his denial of an award as an accomplishment. So your question is ambiguous.

He's also diagnosed autistic if you can't tell by the way he's dressed and he will probably never get a meaningful job in his area of interest. It's like autistic people who look at a train and start listing off all the specifications of its engine. They're an expert in a very narrow field but it doesn't translate over into any useful knowledge, and they're never going to use that information to advance the field of trains.

I'm not trying to smash his dreams because I hate people, I'm trying to tell the truth about it. According to this article (https://www.intelligentliving.co/17-year-old-built-newtonian-reflector-telescope/)) he wants to be a teacher. That's how I know he's not going anywhere. Autistic people make terrible teachers and never follow through with that goal. If he doesn't become a neet he'll probably end up stocking shelves at AutoZone when he grows up because this world was not made for legitimately autistic people's success.

>>11776828
Look at this cope. Kids like the one in OP are literally the kind that actually go on to be successful in STEM.

>>11776858
Wealthy kids with an interest in science often do cool projects outside the reach of a kid who doesn't have the same money and connections. Some of them succeed to various degrees, but it's no guarantee of success.

>>11776697
If you have rich parents ofcourse you have possibilities to venture in the sciences in you backyard etc.

>>11776697
I can understand the bellman equation despite having no mathematics background beyond algebra.

Thanks based coronavirus for giving me all this time to study.

Sad you've done nothing! Im sorry you're so bitter!

>>11776895
how much do you think that could have possibly cost

>>11776963
Your copes are retarded. I too am a sperg, but I have realized I cannot bank on retarded shit like train fapping or something. The "special interest" has to actually be of use in the REAL WORLD. I'm banking on some sort of engineering (ideally aerospace) because it's actually useful and will land me a worthy job.

>>11776970
>copes
Good thing Im not coping. Sucks that you have mental illness. If you are over the age of 20 and have nothing thus far, theres no hope for you.

>>11776697

>>11776970
Sounds like you're the one coping. Nobody gives a flying fuck about your illness in this chinese cartoon board

>>11776997
>Sucks that you have mental illness. If you are over the age of 20 and have nothing thus far, theres no hope for you
Like the plebbitor? He's definitely gonna fail as a teacher.
>>11777006
What? I don't care about what other nobodies think of my brain structure in a mongolian shoemaking forum. I'm only using my assburgers to make a point, which is that the "special interest" aspies LOVE to peddle about doesn't count as an actual accomplishment unless it is actually applicable in the modern world.
Designing rockets and shit is useful, jerking off to steam engines and making telescopes for the "i fucking love science" crowd isn't.

>>11776828
>the way he's dressed
Wait that's the way I dress. I don't wear shirts with logos, but other than that.
I wear plain short sleeves, long sleeves, and sweatshirts. I tend to always wear pants, ranging from a bit less baggy than his to a bit more. Sometimes I wear shorts.
I wear pretty boring nike sneakers, and have rectangle glasses similar to his.
I have terrible social skills, social anxiety, and some weird habits/mannerisms.
I take months and months to warm up to people decently, and rarely ever go past being vaguely "friends" with people.
In all my schooling (don't do college) I've only ever hung out with a very very small number of people (like 4) outside of school.
I had a gf when I was 9 but that's been it. Spent the past couple months obsessing over my relationship with this girl I thought had liked me that I let slip away, turns out she never liked me at all. After I asked her out and she said no we talked and she said I was always awkward around her. She also made a joke (I think) that she thought me and my best friend were together. I talk to him a lot because he's the person I'm most comfortable around, we're similar and have developed a very unique dynamic. He's pretty much the only person I feel pretty much no anxiety with because we've developed a dynamic so I often just talk to him to avoid the anxiety.

>>11777079
For examples of weird mannerisms:
>Years ago I had a laptop, I was fucking around with a pocket knife and scratched the screen, after that I always kept my mouse pointer directly on that line, halfway between the start and end of the scratch when I wasn't using the mouse
>If there was ever like a background on a website, I'd leave the pointer halfway between the edge of my screen and the end of the background, again on the scratch
>I like to repeat things I see a lot in my head a lot when I get anxious, usually brands of devices I own or street signs, "No parking any time", "Speed limit 35", "Vista panasonic blu ray disc"
>I also say "1 2, 3 4, 5 6, 7 8, 9 10" over and over again, I do that so often I tend to pair it with other actions, like quickly pausing and unpausing a video, or tapping
>Beyond tapping to that above rhythm, I often tap out the beats of any song I'm listening to, and just tap in general when my anxiety comes around
>When I repeat things in my head like that, I also mouth them slightly, so my lips are constantly seemingly quivering, particularly when around other people

>>11777082
>When I was younger (like a teenager) I used to say shit like "fucking kill me" in my head when something bad happened, but I felt slightly superstitious so everytime I did this I'd think the following thing just in case, "I don't actually want to die, that's just a way for me to voice my displeasure in something"
>I did that so often that anytime I thought about death or me dying I'd have to say it, often I would find myself in loops where I'd think about death, say it, and in saying it I would again think about death and would be forced to say it again
>I used to worry people might hear my thoughts so made sure never to think about anything I wouldn't want the people near me to know I was thinking about
>I can't snap very well, but for awhile I was trying to practice to get better so I'd do it a lot, eventually I made a habit of moving my fingers in a snapping motion but not making any sound, which I do a lot now when I'm anxious
>I keep my fingers in a few oddly specific positions for most of the time
>I walk kind of weird but I can't explain how
>I tense various muscles in my body for a moment for no real reason, particularly my biceps and neck
>When I get really anxious, or did something embarrassing, I either tense my neck quickly, blink my eyes very fast, or close one or both of my eyes really tight for a moment
>I have fantasies about talking to people and in my head we converse very naturally, and both of us are very funny, when meeting people in real life I realize they aren't what I imagined in my head and become slightly disinterested in talking with them

Am I autistic?
I'm also worried I may eventually become a schizo and just haven't gone through psychosis yet.

>>11776697
I hold a useless patent in a cutting edge sub field of deep learning because my manager pushes everything we do onto IP lawyers regardless of viability or repeatability

>>11776697
That's impressive. How did he smooth out the lenses for the eyepiece and determine the appropriate spacing? How did he smith the support beams?

>>11777084
>>11777082
yes

t. autismo that also does most of those things

>>11776697
Not a one.

>>11777084
If you think you might have a schizo break, the most important thing you can have is to know resources and people to go to if you think you're having problems. The worst cases of schizophrenia always happen in people who know nobody and nowhere to go to for help, because it's an incredibly complex disorder and environment is a huge factor in how it manifests. If you're that worried about it, research into resources that are available for schizophrenia so that as soon as you suspect you're having problems you know exactly who to go to to seek help. But most importantly, don't worry about it. Worrying all the time about having a psychotic break is what gives you a psychotic break.

>>11777118
If I get diagnosed will that help?
Will knowing I'm autistic in any way aid me?

>>11777124
not really
just learn to enjoy your autism

>>11777123
I'm not necessarily nervous about it, I just don't like not knowing. It would be at least interesting if I ended up as schizo, although probably pretty hell.
That all sounds solid, though. I'll start looking into resources.

>>11777133
That's fair. I've been learning to enjoy my less popular traits lately and it's been nice.
Thanks man

>>11777137
If you haven't already, try getting a weighted blanket and learn to feel comfort in a way that normalfags will never hope to understand.

>>11777147

but you will also learn the suffering that normalfags will never hope to understand

>>11777147
Hadn't thought about buying one of these before but honestly it does seem pretty comfy.
For some reason thinking about this has also compelled me to clean, which I will proceed to do. I now want complete order in my livingspace, and a nice weighted blanket.
Assuming the price doesn't affect the quality that much given the idea's the same, I'll pick one up soon enough.

Logic of an idiot who spends his times with memes.
Really the thing that makes him look odd is his height, he has a frame of a kid and face of an adult, if he was a few inches taller and and wider you wouldnt get any "autistic vibes" of him, fortunate for him hes just still in puberty and so his development isnt yet done which is why he looks kinda goofy atm.

You are not autistic no way. Sure you have autistic traits. Everyone had autistic traits some are just a lot worse than others.
It seems like you have a major form of anxiety. A lot of the issues you are pointing out seem to be coping mechanisms of anxiety. Your posts also are pretty bloggy but blog out anxiety inducing topic.
Sure I do retarded things, I walk on my tippy toes sometimes and I tense my muscles really hard when I get excited. I used to spell out everything I saw. A lot of those autistic traits went away when I was no longer anxious and depressed and habit like spelling out everything I saw were broken. Seems like you have OCD + Anxiety which go hand in hand. Maybe a bit of the 'tisms. I'm 100% sure you aren't like the guy in OPs pic related. I know he wouldn't be able to have the same emotions as you - you wouldn't let a news company publish and article about something you made in your house, while dressed like thatt, or Would you?

>He's also diagnosed autistic if you can't tell by the way he's dressed
No, you can't tell. All your argument is based on this assumption that he's autistic, do you have anything to prove it? Also, he's dressed exactly like most kids his age dress; if you think that that's abnormal, I have bad news for you.

I have a field medal.

>>11779699
I don't know, but I've kind of stopped giving a shit. My awkwardness I think is an offshoot of my neuroticness, which is integral to my character. Maybe in like 5 years I will be concise, confident, and not anxiety-ridden, but right now that's not me.
Right now I'm just gonna ride it out, try to minimize embarrassment, and see what happens.

Good for him. Not sure why he wanted to mention his age though.

I built the computer I'm using now with years of gift money I saved up in high school, did competitive programming with some success for a couple years, graduated with a math and CS degree, and now work as a dev for a FAANG.

Furfags are shockingly productive people. It's easy to see them as a bunch of useless degenerates, but they aren't.

Posting on 4chub is diagnosis of autism itself. Are you sure you don't want to rearticulate the blabbering bullshit you spewed out? However the whole teachers thing I do agree with to some extent but HFAs aren't bad at teaching it's more of does the class intimidate them to the point where all of they're social skills deteriorate instantaneously? I would say yes about 90% of the time.

Hey I got a question.

As a foreigner with a BSc score at around 3.29 at best, are there schools in LA/NY I can count on getting into assuming I have good MSc GPA, LORs and SOP? Studying physics btw.

>>11782695
he seems to have the tism, but bless his soul, I hope his love for telescopes gets him hired.

>>11782817
Only if you're going to chop it down to a sweet dune buggy.

>>11782845
I honestly don't know the answer to your question with respect to LA/NY schools. In my experience, test scores are not a terrific indicator of potential. Instead, I would focus on crafting your more personal application materials. A well-crafted personal statement that articulates your research interests can be far more influential than standardized test results, especially if you develop a strong rapport with prospective mentors.

>>11776697
Built a super computer and donated it to my undergrad physics department. Also built a CD spectrophotometer.

Weird that I studied biology.

>>11782874
> In my experience, test scores are not a terrific indicator of potential
I don't doubt it for a second, but it seems like BSc GPA plays a huge role - including, as a way of filtering applications.

What do you think would play a bigger role: Physics GRE or local BSc scores?

>>11782908
Keep in mind that my expertise is not in physics, but I would guess discipline-specific test scores (i.e., your physics GRE) carry more weight.

>>11782908
My grad program did a big study on that. The only things that correlate well with grad school success were letter of recommendation scores and number of publications before attendence.

Everything else had shit statistical power. It's actually why they dropped the GRE as a requirement.

>>11782937
Is there a study on grad school application success? In other words how much does each thing help to get in?

>>11782966
Not so much. My philosophy was that ya need to have three solid things at least.

For me it was test scores, research/extracurricular, and letters of recommendation. My GPA was garbage and i don't know what my essays were like to be honest although I'm usually a good writer.

If you have a trash gpa focus on doing research to show you are competent and engaged. Make sure you have good letters of recommendation from professors who believe in you. And find some alternative avenue to prove you have the chops needed. Talking with grad students or professors at the grad schools you are interested in is a good idea too. If you press a professor enough they will lean on comitties for you.

Basically aim to show you are dedicated, experienced, and know your material well. The application has a lot of different avenues to show those sides of yourself so you just have to figure out which sides are best emphasized in your particular case for each section

>>11782983
>Talking with grad students or professors at the grad schools you are interested in is a good idea too.
Can I really just email random people and say "hey, I'm X from Y looking to apply to your phd program, what will I need to do?"?
Is it considered normal practice?

I can see students not minding this, but profs are busy people.

>>11783076
I would target specific professors to ask about graduate opportunities in their lab. A response to that question requires minimal effort on the professor's part. If they are looking for students, your inquiry is a natural conversation starter.

>>11783164

Ah, since I am not the only one dabbing in this field.
https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/sterilized-by-sound
But you don't need ultra sound, for instance, 69,81 and 69,83 work and cover most kind of molds (not all of them), 80,00 is oxygen.
