can you do the program and college? what sort of program is it?

my dad said we couldn't afford for me to go to college, so I got a scholarship and went. I worked at a camp in the summer as first aid person, then secretary, so got room and board.

once you're 18, you are an adult and can make your own decisions. hopefully, your parents will support you once they see you taking responsibility for yourself.

You have to be a bit more specific.

agree... what do you mean by that? This is a time that you got to tell your story.

There are a variety of programs out there now that assist students while they also attend a real college. Some even help you find employment and have supported living options. These are best for people who might need more than the typical accommodations a college offers, like extra time on testing, etc. Google search "aspergers college" or "autism college".
