What can I do for these things that the person who tested me said to work on

[Mary Terry]

Some of those I do do, most dont apply and two I'm currently unable to do but I can work towards the ones I cant do yet

Try to work on tasks that you will need to master before you can successfully live on your own. If you can afford it, get a professional therapist or someone trained/experienced in helping people with ASD make the transition to independent living. You can do it!

It seems you are still in school?

For a young adult, it might be worthwhile looking for a "clubhouse" for mentally ill adults. They may have group activities, including cooking and clean-up and recreational activities. Any of these things would be good for you.

Even if you don't like people, you need some skills for getting along in society.

I tried to teach my daughter, an adult with autism, some common life skills like cooking, shopping, keeping a bank account. She didn't want to learn them. Now she lives independently, they are much harder to find a way to learn them. She has to learn by trial-and-error, which is always more painful!

If I get my service dog that may help me socialize and have a reason to learn social stuff since people will come up to me (and lots of other benefits). I have gotten parental permission to ask my doctor if I can get a service dog so hopefully I will

I'm not a believer, I dont like people, and I dont know what a potluck is

A pot luck is a gathering where everyone is expected to bring in something to eat/drink

So I was recently diagnosed and i am unsure what would help be with "Therapeutic services
provided to assist with developing social skills, increasing self-care skills, and general
independent skill development", any suggestions? And do not suggest ABA therapy.

Therapeutic Services is a code word meaning "we will charge you or your insurance a huge sum of money to create the illusion we are helping you without providing any useful skills or services." They are all NTs who assume you have an NT brain and proceed accordingly to teach you NT skills in an NT manner.

Been there.

And from another perspective, I've derived life-changing benefits from therapeutic services so ya never know.
