Let's list what you've "missed" by being denied the experience....
1. Self-important people telling you what and how you should think.
2. Being in huge debt for an education you couldn't use (if you're like most people with AS and have a hard time keeping a good job)...also presumes your parents didn't have the money to send you to school.
3. Having YET ANOTHER environment where you're the oddball who doesn't quite fit in.
Really, you didn't miss that much.
Frankly, once you reach a certain age, lots of schools have discounted or free courses for the elderly, and you don't have to academically quality to be allowed to take the classes.
...For the last part (though I know you mean well...
): I'm not " elderly " , I want " credit " courses , I DO wish about/dream about " the college experience " (now I'm tearing up)
, I thought back then " My teenage fun will start ! "...
It's not like I'm projecting the MTV cliche " fratboy " thing , even a more " intellectual-bookish " --- Aspie
! !! !! !! !! !! - sort of thing
You want to go to college?
I'll send you to college!
You'll start at your local community college, and we'll see how it goes from there.
As far as transcripts go, your state education association will have records - so don't start on about "I don't have my certificates with me".
When you start thinking "But, I'm not qualified to go to community college" - BS dude, you can take a class that doesn't even count for any credit at all.
If you want to go, I'll pay for a class - and you had better pass, or you won't get anymore classes.
Put your mouth where my money is ASS p
