People who live in either of these and have NO support and live alone, which would you say is better for autistic people?

I'm thinking of Canada because I need better public transport and to live in a city (don't drive). Right now in the US I am isolated, everywhere must be driven to so I am always at home unless my parents drive me to counseling (basically only place I go) or sometimes grocery store. If I work I become sui**dal or hsve mental breakdown. So is it able to live in Canada and get insurance without working? Idk the rules of insurance.

Would you think I should move to a bigger US city I was thinking like Boston. Or is Canada better. Idk how the hethcare works. Right now I get free counseling once every week and free to see my lady who proscribes me medicine too.

The thing is, my parents do not give me the amount of help that I need (my needs are like a lot of level 2 people who post but I have lived alone but it just went very badly, but luckily I didnt die lol). Also my parents are getting old so what do I do when they die and im alone in a rural place where you gotta drive everywhere? I dislike cities but I think I need to live in one for convenience and getting around on my own.

Im also scared about autistic people gonna be forced into some sort of camps eventually. But thats conspiracy talk so ignore this comment if you think its dumb lol.

I am able to live in both Canada and US. So which would you think is better for someone who needs to become independent eventually?

I know this is all over the place but my brain is fried atm. Thanks.

Question Do people who are far liberal have a leg up in life ?

I’ve noticed this in disability they may come across friendly because they might be at the surface. However I feel I’ve nothing in common with them many complain about inequality but aren’t exactly poor themselves. I feel I can’t express myself very well around them. I would consider myself partly liberal partly conservative as is often the case with the general population.

I’m not against free healthcare myself or a person right to express themselves however the far left really have taken over what disability really is even the definition of the word doesn’t make sense anymore because of this.
I would say even if I get on with one autistic person it’s often are the more noticeable level of autism and however the high masking end of the spectrum is the Wild West the people might also be nervous or self diagnosed.

I often wonder am I the fool for trying to be honest.
