I've already been. I wouldn't be adverse to going again as a postgraduate.

I'll start going to a community college next month, at which I plan to attend for a year or two to get my basics out of the way, and then I plan on transferring to a university. I'd like to get a dorm once I transfer to university, because dorm life has always sounded appealing to me.

I'm in it, and it was the worst choice that I've made in my entire life.

Bit curious about the question. What exactly would you like me to think about? Whether university was a good experience for me, or whether you should go to uni?

If it's the latter, it depends on what area you'd like to work in and where your strengths and weaknesses lie.

That's like asking is university good for a person? It depends on the person.

Aspergers itself isn't a reason to go or not go.

+1. There's nothing stopping a person with ASD going to uni. If you have special requirements or accommodations, then the uni will help you out. It's a matter of whether university is in line with the career path you want to follow, whether or not you pass the requirements, etc.
