I need to live alone. I'm currently living in this flatshare with old ( I'm talking early 20th century) doors which leak shitloads of noise. The thing is: the flatshare itself is very cheap for the city I live in and it's super central.
However the noise leaking from both my roommates is killing me. And I'm autistic at times so I hate making small talk and I'm bad mannered in the mornings when I don't get sleep. I never feel like I can really retreat and reload my batteries, so to speak.
Thing is: living prices are so damn expensive that I'm not able to live in a single studio apartment. What do?

You need flatmates who are like you. Even though I'm not as autistic as you seem, I also hate living with people I don't get along with.
What will solve your problems is moving in with people who understand you and aren't rude fucks.

apply for more scholarships and grants to help cover housing with the money from a part time job. An essay a day keeps the landlord away.

I don't hate my flatmates but they're as normie as can be and it's so hard to pretend to be normal.

I moved into the only affordable studio apartment in a college town to escape the situations that arise from roommates. It was horrible. So moldy I got very ill.
I would recommend just getting along until you move to a less expensive area.

At a hardware store or Walmart buy the kind of weather stripping that is sold to put around doors to keep out drafts. It will help with soundproofing.

I feel you. In my parents' house, the walls were pretty much made of paper. You'd hear it if someone were walking two rooms over, or if a clock was ticking in the next room. Since moving out I hardly even notice the washing machine although it's just 5 meters away with a single wall in between.
Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of advice, other than "endure it" and "find another place with thicker walls".
