Roommate Problem

<p>I apologize for the lack of replies; I went home for Thanksgiving, and I didn’t have access to a computer.</p>

<p>Someone said that there’s more to it than I’ve revealed; I haven’t done that intentionally, I referred to it in the other thread, I just didn’t think it was relevant. For what it’s worth, I was formally diagnosed with Aspergers at 14/15, informally suggested by my pediatrician when I was in first grade (but not pursued because of the lack of distress.) Recently, I’ve had symptoms that are suggestive of Schizophrenia, and I see a psychiatrist about it. It could be hallucinations due to insomnia, but because there’s so much overlap between Aspergers and Schizophrenia, it’s possible that certain problems attributed to the former are actually pathological of the latter. The Schizophrenia possibility is also part of the reason I don’t want to escalate it too much. If someone overreacted and things degenerated to a physical confrontation, I think that I’d be at a distinct disadvantage when blame is being doled out. Possible schizophrenic says one thing, normal kid says something else, who would you be inclined towards believing?</p>

<p>Now that that’s clarified, I’ll say that I’m going to see my ODS counselor this week to ask if there are any single rooms that have opened up (or if there’s anything that can be done if there haven’t been any that have opened up.) If she can’t do anything I may see the dean of students, but I don’t want to make an appointment with them only to have them say “well have you spoken to X.” I’d think that if that happened and I came back to them, they might be less patient about the amount of time they’re spending on it, but I don’t really know. I originally had the medical documentation to support a single room, but my school has more people living in the dorms than they’d anticipated. As a result, a lot of doubles are now triples, 8 person suites hold 10, etcetcetc. </p>

<p>Sleeping pills: I take 1 5mg Ambien nightly. I can’t take a stronger one because of health problems; I was actually taken off of Halcion because of the much greater risk for complications as compared to the Ambien. </p>

<p>I don’t know what you mean by student cubicles at the library; We have >10 on campus, and I primarily use either the main or sci/eng library, and both of those have rows of tables; no closed cubicles, no study carrels, no real “private” studying areas. </p>

<p>Using the signs and such to get back at him would have a limited effect I think. He’s outwardly very social, and is friends with most of the floor. If anything, I seem like the “weird” reclusive one. </p>

<p>Finally, a broken computer might work in say, a quad, but if there’s only one other person in the room with you, it’s pretty obvious who’s responsible.</p>
