GOD. I just want to get out of here. I've lived in small four block town my whole life, and my dad brags about his business trips and won't let me attend a college outside town especially now since I withdrew from my classes. I am not disabled, according to U.S. government, I have schizo-affecitve bipolar and adhd which are all wrong labels. I'm sick of the bs!! I can't be angry or it's misconstrued. My friends don't get me and won't listen when I try to explain that I have to focus on everything I do to behave properly. YES I HAVE AUTISM. I was misdiagnosed!! But NO ONE wants to hear it at my doctor's office. Because they'd have to admit they were wrong!! ! That's why!! I am not in any way shape or form bipolar, it's this degrading and guilt tirpping and controlling that makes me lash out.

Find another doctor/psychologist to make sure you get the correct diagnosis. In these things you not only need a second opinion you may need a 5th or 6th opinion to confirm the diagnosis.
Speak to a financial aid advisor at the college and inquire about how you could get a Pell grant or anything similar to it (not a loan, you do not have to pay it back). Depending on your situation you very well could get enough grant money to attend a college out of town and the grant could cover classes, books and room and board.
