So, my family and I are moving to Florida (specifically Orlando) in a month, and eventually my YA NEET ass is going to have to move out on my own.
Throughout school and my time with my still-unfinished degree in college, I was not trained for living on my own and I'm afraid I'm too autistic to pick up any new life skills at 25yo
basically: Any tips for living alone, specifically in Orlando?

btw, I asked google for help and it wasn't very helpful

Most people probably aren't "trained" for "living alone." Most probably just jump in and muddle through. You're not willing to try, make mistakes and pick yourself up and and try again, that's the issue.

To illustrate what I mean, have you ever bought food from the market and used it prepared a meal at home while being a NEET? Can you open a can? Boil water? Launder, and if necessary, iron, your clothes?

You're anxious over things women can figure out m8.
Here's a simple explanation:
>Cooking
Find recipes online. Make a list of things you need. Buy the ingredients. Follow the instructions. It may not work out for the first time but later it will.
>laundry
I know you've been told otherwise at school but don't mix whites and coloureds. Also I wash socks separately because otherwise I get mysterious matter on other clothes. Most of the settings on your washing machine are also a bit nonsensical, unless you're constantly covered in grease and dirt, set the temperature to circa 40 degrees C(like 110 F?) and press start, most programs will do just fine but whatever is labelled eco is going to do it the cheapest(and the longest), outside of it find some kind of quick wash mode as well for when you need it.
>Ironing
For most clothes you can avoid it by just taking the clothes out of the washing machine as soon as finishes and hanging them out straight. Generally the thinner the fabric the more likely you'll have to iron it. Ironing itself is self explanatory, you put the clothing item on the board and place the hot iron on top of it, move and rotate it, then iron again until all creases are gone.
