Housing

Chimes

Hi everyone. 

Been thinking about it a lot recently and I don't know what I would do about housing in the future. I'm 28 and still living at home and cared for by my mum and I know she's not gonna be around forever. I don't know a single thing about housing and stuff like that. I don't work due to my condition and have no friends or partner and just don't know where to go in my life.

    Hey, thanks for the reply.

    Basically i'm 30 in just over a year and just want to be more independent. Can do some stuff on my own, like i could probably cook for myself if i learnt a bit and practiced, could do my own shopping, just don't know where or what sort of place i'll be able to live. As i said, i have no job and on benefits so don't know how i'll afford my own place, also have no friends or partner i'll be able to share a place with.

    If there's something you want-you should go for it.

    I tend to dive in & allow myself to be confused/make mistakes/learn & sometimes repeat lol.

    Even though I've been "living on my own" since 17...."life-ing" or "adulting" will always have moments of being overwhelming to anyone with ASD.

    Recently, started thinking about my household like a business & catering it me/husband.

    We hate doing dishes....so everything we own pretty much can fit into 1 load in dishwasher. Cooking---start thinking about what YOU like to eat. We repeat about 5 meals & we don't care.

    Streamline everything you can.Grocery delivery---so I can avoid the grocery store. Point is...thinking & putting stuff on paper in my philosophy puts the wheels in motion in the universe to what you want.
