Do those of you on the spectrum fear the future due to our disability with ASD or is it just me.

Just find the future looks so bleak at times I'm lucky as still live my parents I'm not high functioning and I'm just ASD. Struggle with understanding things like bills and budgeting I guess along with getting work. My disability isn't visible or one you can here so it's hard to exsplain it to regular people and get any understanding from them. Is there support you can get for when your parents eventually pass. There not going anywhere anytime soon luckily as there only in there 60's but I almost feel like I wouldn't know how to survive or cope without them. Suffer baddly from anxiety don't go out because of it that and I don't have ideal social skills so usually end up offending people not on purpose but because I can come across as as a bit blunt and opinated but the future genuinely terrifies me.

    Try not to worry about the future, I feel like I do struggle with understanding how bills and budgeting works as well. I think sometimes if we think about too many things it can get to us, it can feel overwhelming. I like getting a little bit of support when I'm out and about, my mum usually goes with me to the shops and we enjoy each others company. I think the future will be a little difficult for me but I try not to panic too much. My mum and dad are in their 60s as well, with my mental health some days can be okay while other days can be hard. The internal battle in the mind, I have harm ocd.
