Decided to not continue with college.

I started college in September with high hopes as writing and history are two of my strongest strengths, and, I enjoy both immensely. When I'm writing and reading about history I get so enticed I sometimes forget to eat and drink.

But here we are in December and gradually I've started to burn out because of going to college. I mask a lot there and it's taking it out of me. Deciding to put my health and well being first I've told my tutor I won't be going back, she was disappointed but said she understood, and, I think she genuinely did understand.

My dad does not understand. He thinks I should give it more time and try harder. He isn't very supportive and told me I'm using my ASD as an excuse. He thinks I should try harder and he doesn't believe in my diagnosis, I heard him telling my brother that. 

I tried really hard with college but I can't keep going with it because it makes me ill and seriously stressed out. I feel I made the right choice with college but now I'm doubting myself.

I wish people could be more understanding.
