Moving Out

Hi, I am a 21 year old who is on the autism spectrum. I have recently reserved a flat which i should hopefully be moving into in Early 2023. Is there anyone that is on here that also has moved out that has any tips on how to prepare to live alone. 


I did try searching on the internet but couldn't really find anything related to the subject.

    You could visit the location of your new flat and look on Google or Apple maps where the supermarket is, bus stops, etc, then walk back and forth. That would help with direction finding and make you more comfortable with that area. You can practice some new recipes where you are living now, also, ask to see the electric, gas, water, council bills for where you are living now and ask how that person (your parent?) pays them. But you still have more than one year before you move in, so plenty of time. Hope that helps.
