I have actual real diagnosed autism and don't function very well in social or outdoors situations. I'm nearly 25 and still live with my parents and have no job. I spend 14-18 hours a day in front of a computer, every day. My parents are nearing retirement age and they can't support me forever.
How do I be a normal person and have a job and live independently?

By getting a job and living independently.

You can't be all that autistic if you can see the problem and think all that far ahead. Chances are that you do have life skills and potential job skills.

Talk to your doctor/therapist/counselor or whoever is an expert and knows your story. If there's no one, ask your parents to contact the local autism society. There are resources that will either help you develop your social skills or point you toward jobs that lie withing your abilities.

>You can't be all that autistic
I had a wrangler that would accompany me to school and would try and keep me out of trouble. I remember stupid things like the birthdays of people I went to school with when I was 8 or the number plates of most of the cars in the high school parking lot.
There's nothing more that I want than to be normal but I can't and I say and do stupid things in social situations that I know are the wrong thing to do but I can't help it and I reee whenever something doesn't go my way even though I'm 24 years old.
I wish more than anything that I wasn't a burden for my parents but I cannot function in society at large. I also really fucking hate doctors and therapists and councillors and haven't been to one since I finished school.

You've got a dilemma here. You want to move forward and not be a burden on your parents. But you don't want to work with the only people (counselors, etc) who can help you do that.

You've got to choose one.

Don't be sure all "normal" people know how to act in all the social situations, or at least feel comfortable with them. There is the general rule of "fake it 'till you make it".
Is there a reason for you hating professionals? I mean, their function in society is to help people. Is distrusting them making any sense? It's like hating teachers or parents. If you dislike certain individual professionals, try to meet with others. You address a doctor for his professionallity, not his charecter (Which you might not like)

Grow the fuck up and deal with it

I also have been diagnosed with autism (and alot more fucking problems that hinder my social skills) but i was perfectly capable of getting a job, and im 5 years younger than you.
