 I'm going to try to tell the whole story here, so bear with me:  
I have autism, and when I was a lot younger, around 5-12 (I am 17 now, junior in HS), It was a hell of a lot worse than it is now and my parents decided to homeschool me (now my autism is much, much better).  I was enrolled in a public homeschool program that met twice a week and I had an aide with me sometimes when I had tics (those aren't a problem now at all).   Back then, I also used the internet with no control, playing games in all my spare time and watching youtube whenever I could.  I eventually was allowed to install scratch, a drag-&amp;-drop programming language for kids which I LOVED.  Eventually, without my parents knowing, I created a scratch forum account and they caught me.  I wasn't allowed to use the computer at all for 6 months and from there they monitered my computer usage a ton more.  Fast forward to 5th/6th grade and I'm doing online school now.  Given the freedom online now, I cheated and my parents caught me when they installed more tracking software on my PC.  they made me pay $200 (a TON of money to me then) to retake the course, but this part is understandable.  fast forward again to freshman year of HS and I'm finally going to a public school, be it an alternative school with 15 students in the senior class. At this point, most of my symptoms of autism had gone away, save for some barely noticeable tics.  I got in trouble that year for abusing the school's network, almost got suspended.    


Now at sophomore year, I feel as if my internet usage is finally justified.  I have transferred to the larger high school of 1,300 students, and I get pretty meh grades.  My parents decide to take away internet, video games, electronics until I get all B's or above in my classes (chemistry was the big one here, only got a C+).  I also am not allowed to drive because of these grades.  Over the summer, I created an Instagram, Twitter, Google, Soundcloud (I produce music), discord, and reddit account, and ALL of those were HUGE, HUGE offenses in my parents eyes (I had an incident with reddit freshman year that my parents got REALLY, REALLY pissed at).  They had always told me "no social media" or "no accounts".  Now, a lot of you might say that "I don't need social media" or "it's useless", but to someone my age it means a lot.  It allows you to interact with people at your school that you might not know otherwise, break the ice with the girl you like, chat with friends (snapchat, instagram dms) when you want, or just share your opinion, and all this is useful for someone who is somewhat shy like me.  They found out and threatened to report me to the police for god knows what and have me suspended at school, killing my chances at a college.  They think I should focus on NOTHING but school unless my grades are there.  I can only hang out with friends on Mondays (early dismissal), fridays, and saturdays (not school nights).  I also want to say that I am extremely lazy when it comes to schoolwork.  I have had high test scores that show I should have a 4.0 GPA, but I only have a 3.3 because I don't put a lot of effort into classes like chemistry or english.   
Now in the present, just in the beginning of second semester junior year, my grades are raised and my parents are finally going to let me learn how to drive, although the SAT comes first and that's my decision (most of my friends were forced to drive the moment they turned 16 in sophomore year so the parents weren't chauffeurs anymore.  Some were also forced to get a job so they can get experience).  I also can't get a job because I don't have a 3.5 GPA for the semester, I had a 3.45.  I got a phone for the first time halfway through sophomore year, and I have recently created an account on discord (I am HUGE into programming/computer science now and It is likely my career, this is what I use it for), Instagram (I post my graphic design here and follow my friends and favorite music artists), and reddit (I ask for advice here and discuss music).  All my friends comment on how strict they are.  They haven't caught me yet here, but it's only a matter of time.  anyway, AITA for trying to get around their rules, or are they justified?  


tl;dr: My parents are strict and I try to get around it.
