Welcome to the community @nis123 Thanks for joining, and for asking your question.
I've moved your post into our education category so that members with some experience of this will be able to find your post more easily.
What kind of support did the college put in place? What kind of support do you think would help your son to succeed at college? -

Hi @nis123
Thanks for reaching out to us. Sorry to hear things are really tough for both of you. Anxiety can definitely be horrible to experience - especially if it is making him sick. Have you talked to the college about alternative supports they could put in place to support him more effectively? Colleges are often open to discussions with families. Additionally, is applying for an EHCP something you have considered?Community Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's.
