I feel like this question isn't going to have an easy answer...

So I'm 18, a senior in high school. I have always been a dreamer trying to reach my full potential (yes even above eating, safety, relationships ect.) pyramid joke... For quite a while I've had a goal to get a PHD in Psychology. But when I think about it, its not so much about the PHD and the jobs I can obtain along with it. Credibility and respect is what I want. I always feel like people don't accept my ideas simply because of my age and education.
Basically my question is : how can I get people to take consideration in my philosophy, theories, and ideas in general? I don't care so much about money, I just want to make the "world" a better place. I would love to study psychology for 8 years, honestly I would. However I can't afford it... I admit I lack a true understanding of finances and all the work that is needed for a PHD as I am still a kid. This is another question/topic I need advice on. I will do whatever it takes to get a PHD if I feel it's necessary for me, but how do I go about it? I have always been extremely troubled with grades in school, Mostly staying on task, and paying attention. I don't think I am narcissistic , but I truly believe that I'm above most in intelligence.
It has never been brought to attention but I believe I'm also mildly autistic, like high functioning aspergers or savant. Particularly when I look at my childhood it is clear to me, it seems as though I almost grew out of it but I definitely am still "DSM certified." Anyways I have dreamed of many ways to "cheat" my way through the educational system with scholarships. Such as with my philosophies and theories (essays). I've developed therapies particularly to do with anti-social PD, ie PRISON. I feel like if people would take things like this into consideration they might give me a chance.
Currently I'm doing a lot of research for a disorder I founded called "Entheogenic Autism" I use the word autism in its root definition as being lost in one self (essentially), but also includes most of the typical autism traits. I believe that the symptoms of this disorder are new, and uprising in the next generation. Why? I based this disorder off the pineal gland, kind of like you may say anti-social is based off the amygdala. Artificial light exposure along with withdrawal from reality are growing more and more, almost exponentially. Light bulbs in general along with cell phones, computers, televisions, all have a similarity of combining artificial light and withdrawal from reality. I believe kids are being effected more then adults as the pineal gland slowly becomes calcified over time.

Anyways I've gone on far to long, I hope someone can provide me with answers/tips ect... Thanks
