Make sure exactly what you think about the class ends up on the evaluation form at the end of the course. Maybe you can make it better for the next set of students.

Good news, bad news time. Good news: I decided to say "screw it" and I dropped the class. I also got a refund. Bad news: my parents found out (no, I did not tell them) and are now convinced that I'm going through a delayed teenage rebellion. Yay.

Op, depending on your states provisions, some of them will actually be able to help you get your own place, even give you maid service once or twice a month. My cousin has Asperger's also and finished college last year after 7 years I think. Mostly because her parents wanted her to help out around the house with cleaning, cooking, staying at her grandmothers house nightly without access to internet. She isn't allowed to learn to drive and still at the age of 28 is told to get up the morning, has clothes picked out isn't allowed in the house by herself which frustrates her. She tried to use a place called a "Regional Center" that is sort of run through government grants that would have paid for an apartment and maid service monthly and provide either a bus pass or a bus type service that comes to your house and transports you where you need to go, just takes FOREVER. Also would have given her a monthly stipend along with helping her through college and finding a job. Her parents derailed that by not signing the paperwork, and telling the center that she was lazy and not willing to work. Anyway, try to see if you have a "regional center." It's not SSI or SS. The thing you have to make sure of is to not allow your parents access to anything from here on out. While they are trying to look out for your best interest in their own way, they can just be holding you back more than helping.

Maybe you can help redefine and make the class better by making suggestions. Would they know if you changed the class?

Tell them you drop it or move out and report the teacher either way they can't do anything about it. You're an adult and the class isn't for you. Tell them to sit through it and then decide if it's for them. If you're letting them control you then that's probably why they think you need a class to control you.

I too have Asperger's and to those who will say girls can't get Asperger's the answer is yes we can. It is just different than boy Asperger's slightly. But anyways I lived with my parents for five years after college then went through my "rebellion" and moved out. I did great. I did two years at community college and moved out once I transferred to University. Two more years at University and still straight A's, well one B+, and no college debt despite $0 contributed to my education by my parents. My brother has worse Asperger's than me so he can't move out and get a job whilst simultaneously going to college like I can so I am making my own way, which I want to. It has taken 2 years but I think now my parents are beginning to believe I can make good choices on my own. In fairness to them when I was at home I always let them make my decisions because they wanted the best for me, I trusted them and I had no desire to make big choices. It took until I was 20 for me to want to do something different than what they wanted for me but then I really had the determination to fight for it. I think they are beginning to respect me as a functioning adult in the world. But it was hard for them because I put myself so much in their care than when I wanted my own way it was confusing for them and they felt like I was rejecting all that they had given me over the years. So to those who say the parent are just being controlling, you are wrong. I don't want to speak for all Aspy's, but the ones I have known are like I was. Perfectly fine having parents make decisions until they aren't and the parents are gust going through mental whiplash. It seems "normal" teenagers go through this a little more gradually I guess where as us Aspy's just wake up one day and say, "No it is going to be this way, right now, and you can't change my mind or make me deviate from my new plan". But I will admit I didn't recognize this until my brother started going through this phase. Haha. Oh well, we are just slower at getting there.

Sit at the back and use the time to catch up on reading for worthwhile subjects, or on writing .an essay on how condescending and offensive the class is. Try contacting ASAN for some tips, too - Ari Ne'eman, who founded it, is on a Presidential Committee about disability.

that's ******* stupid. I have aspergers too and I know how ridiculous it is to constantly be treated like a child because of it

You're being a little bitch. Tell your parents to **** off. Then make your own decisions.

Do your parents think you have Asperger or something?
