This is largely a legal question: what are your rights, what would your sister have to demonstrate for you to to lose them, etc.?

What the actual situation on the ground is probably varies by where you are--first by country, then by state.

Lots of states of free to low-cost legal aid groups, but they might only be available to consult on a case that exists, not for consultation, but they might have a website that outlines the process for your. I think the key word might be "conservatorship" in the US, which comes in many flavors.

The other part of it is whether your sister would try to do something like that, and that I do not know..

Getting kicked out, being unemployed for a bit post move, and just generally being autistic. Going on leave for metbal health reason before I got kicked out. Also she keeps suggesting I file for disability etc. I hope she means well but it sounds like she thinks my autism is worse than it actually is.

In my state there is a process, so I would get appointed a lawyer to represent me. And I have a right to a hearing. But honestly I dont trust a judge to review everything, I could really just see an Ohio judge being like your autistic now your legally 3 years old. Haha.

I dont know if she would do something like it, I just feel like she overhypes me so much, where if I even do the bare min to exist, I'm showered with congrats etc.

Idk. Maybe I am just paranoid.

I also dont like she talks about autism overly clinically, like I know she has autistic kids and has to know clinical terms to advicoate for them, but in just casual conversation or just living life it comes up like that. Like I normally dont give my autism a ton of thought every task I do. Idk. I'm 25, so I'm hoping she would at least consider I made it from 18-25 without relying on anyone heavly and I plan on moving out again in a year with cash.
