Pity you didn't come back. I did after falling out for 4 years, finished the MS and was offered grad studies.

Good for you!

The Faculty of Physics is the most Aspie-friendly (and generally neurodiverse-friendly) place I know!

Indeed, FUW is really neurodiverse-friendly.

Based on my own experience as a professor, and my daughter's experience as a student, colleges and universities are very unfriendly to autistics. The environment is even louder, brighter and more crowded than high school. Dormitories (sometimes students are required to live there) are a nightmare. The faculty and administration are simply unfamiliar with autistic people's learning needs and some are hostile to accommodations. However, if you have a really good advocate in the disabilities office, it is possible to make it through. Don't give up hope.
