When The Past & Future Crash For Me

I know I have autism. For college, some say it's better to go when you're 25 and over. I looked at UNC Greensboro's disability program, and it looks unappealing. I know Western and Appalachian have better programs, but they go up to 22 and 25 years old (not for Greensboro). I am appalled that the age limit is there, given that it's college and that nobody cares how old one is there.

Granted, there are jobs out there where nothing more than a high school diploma is required. I am aware that those jobs do not pay one well, but I could be wrong. University sounds scary for me, and I feel that at 20 years old, my education is on the verge of expiration. Before I was 18 (and even after the break-up), my education was more important than a girl. After 18, the roles seemed to have changed. I know a two-year college is cheaper and easier to work with (I'm better at a certificate if anything else), but no disability program ruins the experience. They can provide services, but no program is dumb (and they are not even private).

I need some advice. How would going to college at the age of 25 impact me? Granted, the age doesn't matter, but I'm kind of pissed that Western and Appalachian have an age limit on their programs while Greensboro does not (and the latter's program looked like crap). I feel that if it doesn't work either way, I would simply give up, drop out, and throw the rest of my life away.


UPDATE: I have ripped apart last school year for dishonoring me and because I was for the most part, a depressed guy. Visiting Rowan University last year, it was neat to see something my teacher used to go to decades ago. Minus that, it was pointless (and it gave me a very awkward and sad feeling-my future was left unclear), and it felt like my mom and I were not agreeing to some things. Their 2016 dance event, I was unhappy with how it was planned out-and I hated my teacher for it (but I didn't go anyway, and she supported my decision). Seeing the 2017 event photos last Saturday, I remember having an emotional breakdown that morning, after how last year went for me.

I just wanted to share my two cents.
