What is your biggest challenge with being an autistic adult?

I am an occupational therapist who works with autistic teens and young adults. I am curious- what is the biggest challenge autistic teens and young adults face as they transition to adulthood? Is it the fear of being lonely? Employment? Succeeding in college? Being accepted by others and making friends?

    My biggest ones are

    1. The fear of being lonely and isolated -Difficulty finding and maintaining employment.
    2. Being accepted by others and making friends.
    3. Developing independent living skills - this one especially worries me because despite my best efforts I am still so dependent on people.
