Slightly disappointed that ill never really feel like an adult
Due to both trauma related things and my autism I don't know if I will ever really feel like an adult despite practically being 18, I know that's not very old but I don't even feel like most 18-year-olds i feel like an actual child compared to them.
Firstly I will not be able to drive because I am terrified at the idea of being behind a wheel, I get distracted and dissociate out of stress, I get a lot of intrusive thoughts around it, and overall I just don't think it's really safe for me to drive even with someone there.
Second this might change in the future however as of right now I also struggle with public transportation by myself, this is because I struggle with severe anxiety, memory and dissociative issues, along with emotional regulation issues, once again it feels like a safety issue for me I don't know if I would feel comfortable being that vulnerable in public without anybody there.
Third my mom literally asked my doctor about disability because again as of right now working would be incredibly difficult, I'm genuinely not trying to make excuses or anything I wish I could work a traditional job like people around my age and sure it would be difficult but it wouldn't be as much of a concern as it is now.
On top of housing me and my dad have been having some...issues and have for years now because of my declining mental so that is a concern but my mom did say that I would most likely be able to live with her, I guess on the bright side my younger sister won't be left alone in the house as she grows up...
Then as far as College goes that's most likely out of the question maybe unless I can get accommodations, but even then I think my school history is completely screwed up considering how many issues I had in person and the fact that I'm now online and still struggling to get assignments done.
Meanwhile people like my cousins and stepbrother are the EXACT same age as me (maybe slightly older) have jobs, tattoos, my brother lives plans to move in with mom but plans to get his own place, and I just simply cant relate to them even when I try joking or talking to them we have literally nothing in common wich made me cry last christmas.
