There is a scholarship that is awarded to 3 people who have forms of autism for three thousand dollars, the link to the application and information is http://researchautism.org/news/otherevents/Scholarship.asp
There is a good chance there are other scholarships that are specifically for those with forms of autism, maybe try doing a search on-line or talking to a financial adviser at the college.

Just go to your College or University and Apply for Student Aid.

You are eligible for any scholarship and grants anyone else is eligible for. But you are also eligible for ones specifically for people with disabilities. CHeck out: http://www.heath.gwu.edu/
The HEATH Resource Center Clearinghouse has information for students with disablities on educational disability support services, policies, procedures, adaptations, accessing college or university campuses, career-technical schools, and other postsecondary training entities. We have information on financial assistance, scholarships, and materials that help students with disabilities transition into college, university, career-technical schools, or other postsecondary programs.

Just as anyone else can, if you are good at writing and studying, or can fill out the FAFSA correctly, you will get aid for college.

As a person with A.S., I've tried getting assistance to go to college. But truth be told, I didn't succeed.
