I'm a 17-year-old autistic kid. I'm scared to turn 18 next year because I don't feel ready. I can't even tie my shoes and my skills in concepts like cooking are very limited. I have trouble going into stores by myself because I'm kind of dependent and get too anxious.

My family isn't supportive of my social disability so I don't expect them to be emphatic when the time comes. Is there any places I can reach out to when I turn 18? I just don't think I'm going to be able to adjust that well I'm my own. I still have slightly over 10 months left before I'm 18 and I'm already stressing it to the max. I live in California if it matters. I would really appreciate any help on figuring this out. I'm worried.
