Hi everyone.
I was just wondering if anyone could help me with difficulties I'm having regarding university...
So I'm 17, and I'll be leaving home for university next September. My main worry is that I won't be able to cope without my family because I guess I'm quite attached to my mum and dad still, I hardly leave the house and don't really like going out much, therefore I'm in the house with my parents most of my time. I'm aware that this is because of my Aspergers, but I'm just worried about how I will cope. Sometimes I think I will be able to go to university and be able to cope fine, but then reality hits and I realise I will probably be a crying mess before they have even dropped me off. So I'm looking at a university which is about 40 minutes from home, and my sister lives less than 10 minutes away which is perfect, but I just feel like I'll be isolated whenever I'm at the actual university. Of course I'm worried about making friends; it takes me a long time to trust someone fully, and I'm happy with my one close friend that I have now (however she wants to go to a university which is down South so I don't think I'll see her as often as I would like). And I'm just worried about the whole idea in general. I was wondering if university is as bad as I think. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to learn my subject there because I have a lot of interest in it, but it's just everything else that goes with the experience, e.g making friends, just living on my own. Any advice would be really appreciated 
Thanks
