My child also has autisim. It would be a miracle if he could learn to tie his shoes or read a book above a first grade level.
You have a special need kid, okay, but your child is smart enough to live on his and was accepted to the college of his choice!
I hear you and I understand what you are talking about - the frustration and the long suffering that only a few understand.
But also understand this: when you complain that your college-admitted child didn't get the full package, some of us want to shake you because our child probably has a 0% chance of going to college.
Your situation could have been much worse. Can you imagine caring for a dependent child for life? Can you really?
My advice to you is simple: be extremely grateful.
