University isn't good for an Autistic person

I think your post misses the point. Topic creator (and I) aren't concerned about academic potential, just the social. Getting a first is nice, making lots of money too. It's still a miserable time though if you are lonely, with very few friends and no romances.

what on earth made you think that?

to me the moral of the story is more like 'don't have unrealistic expectations and make sure that you take advantage of all the support available to you'

What do you mean by intelligence, is that a single defining characterisitic? Autism might mean someone is socially unintelligent, even if they are good at other things.

Yes i am. It seems im allergic to people. I thought my flatmates where my friends but nah, it was fake. THEY ****ING AVOID ME IN THE KITCHEN FOR CHRIST SAKE.

No one talks to me in my course. I've had it

Sorry to hear about your situation, you should ideally let your tutors know about your autism. Just because you have this disorder, you shouldn't feel isolated, or any different from other people. You are capable of anything if you put your mind to it . Please tell someone about it - you will get a lot of support and help!!

do you know for a fact you have autism and not just really bad social anxiety

Damn you just gotta focus, kid. How was it before Uni? Was it not the same, socially speaking? University isn't Neverland. You are still the same person when you go. Your expectations should be realistic. If you struggled to fit in before Uni because of something you cannt help, you...most likely will struggle at Uni as well. There are non-autists who struggle with the same reality.

As someone with autism myself, I feel its been an amazing experience. As for you saying its an awful disorder, I think its what makes us brilliant in our own different ways.

Dont let people get to you though, as much as uni is about the social experience, you are there to learn and achieve on your own level.

Work will be even worse.

Work WAS worse for me. I did jobs such as sales and street fundraising. One Manager shouted at me and sacked me on the street.

I even worked as a camp leader, the manager said i had an 'inward leadership'

I just want to live as a recluse now.

University is the best way to do that. It's the one place where you can easily get away with not talking to anyone for days or weeks. You should stay at university as long as possible.

Then this means it's time for me to leave my halls and look for flat for a living in January.

Hard part is convincing my parents that my leavings isn't do to me 'not socialising'

Some people accept their autism, some people can't. The way this disorder has ruined me and my family is what made me leave my family to go to a far away uni.

Is that you saying that you cant cope or you just not trying to change?

I am an aspie/autist too. Surely University is worth it for the learning, but I am finding the social aspect a little difficult and depressing. Fortunately I commute on the train so I don't have flatmates who I may/may not connect with. It often feels lonelier to be surrounded by people I fail to connect with, than to be alone.

I do TRY to be friendly and interact with people, but they often seem unfriendly and uninterested. I have perhaps two reasonable friends who I talk to when I see them. It is however hard to see them in a lecture of 200+ people, so I often sit alone or with unfriendly strangers. I don't tell people about my autism either, I feel they won't understand.

I do hate the autism, it feels like a curse impeding my chances at social success. However, your family should not blame you for having it. They are in the wrong there.

You haven't had it just because a few stupid people don't talk to you.
They sound the autistic ones.

Is there an autistic or similar group you could join? Meet some people having the same problems as you?
Cos there are bound to be people out there feeling exactly the same.
Get together with them and have a moan - always makes me feel better.
