I'm currently 25, Australian, and still in the uni trap. Autism and a learning disorder means that I'm a fucking moron and had to work my way up the chain before I got to the institution I wanted. I consider myself above-average when it comes to information retention, but other smart people still run circles around me.
However, I've been fucking tanking my units since I got there. My GPA is going to fucking suck by the time I leave - consistent failing two units a semester, three with the most recent results. My relevant work experience is too old to put references on my resume for which basically nullifies their existence. I don't want to be studying past 30, but I feel like I'm wasting my time.
What do? Should I cut my losses and just rejoin the daily grind? Or should I persevere with help from the uni, and finish the course in about 2-3 years?

Talk to your advisor about it t.bh

Depending on the degree.... Just cheat desu.
If you're not there for science law math and are instead there for something like business then honesty just pay someone to do your assignments.

Don't waste your effort. Finish the course and get a job in your field.
Even if it's just to hang the certificate on your wall....
Stay strong.
I'm studying my bachelor of audio. And I have Asperger's and it's hard to focus and listen and organise my life.

My major's in History, but I'm not in it for the job prospects. It's a degree with wide-ranging skill sets required that I can apply them to pretty much anything behind a desk.
I'd much rather avoid cheating the system.

That's the plan. I have awful self-control and discipline, so that's gonna be the first thing I'll look into: getting more deadlines with people who aren't going to cut me slack.

Instead of criticizing yourself, give yourself credit for getting so far despite your handicaps. And wouldn't it be a shame if, having accomplished so much, you then just gave up?
Keep going. Get some counsel about course selection and course loads (If you suspect you'd fail 2 out of 5, take only 4, giving you more time for each) Investigate what support systems are in place at the uni (In the USA, dyslexics can get extra time on exams).
Don't worry about your age - if it takes you an extra year or two, that's no big deal.
(And you're right about a History degree giving you skills you can use in a business setting)
