I’m considering supported living

But one thing that bothers me is that I’m a picky eater and I probably wouldn’t be able to eat the food that they make there
Is there facilities where you could make your own food?

some places can make what you want though dont give up

Couldn’t you order in ?

What does that mean

Moving into supported living was a smart move and something I don’t regret. It’s an opportunity. I had to do my own shopping and cooking.

are they helpful there

There’s places who will accommodate your diet! When I was looking for assisted living I remember they asked if I had any special dietary restrictions. I heard autism can made you psychologically reject some foods or have a limited diet. I’m sure some places would be willing to accommodate you. Worth asking for sure.

I think it would be a good thing for you in your life. You wouldn’t be so alone.

Talk to a few supported living homes and ask how they handle picky eaters. Ask if you’re allowed to make your own food.

It’s worth a try at least. Don’t give up without even looking into it

If they let you in, that means you need it as much as anyone else who is there

i dont want to be a person whos wasting the society’s resources
i should just deal with it and get a job or something

You can discuss your options with the people who treat you for your mental and emotional issues.

They’ll know better whether or not you’re easy to try working etc

idk… they think im useless and dumb

No they don’t. It’s possible they believe you’re currently too ill and unstable to work etc but that does not mean useless or dumb

my biggest dream is to study in university and get a job one day
