It is a shame that they cannot be managed online. Your criticism of IceCreamKid is illogical, unwarranted, and impolite. That you consulted an attorney has no bearing on the victimization, because an attorney is in no better position to "diagnose" chronic victimization than IceCreamKid, and most likely is in a worse position that IceCreamKid.
In terms of practical advice, just write that you due to your disability, you prefer written communications.
In Boston there must be free to low cost resources for therapy - interns working to get the requisite hours for the licensure exams, community clinics, etc. You are not in the middle of nowhere - you should be able to find counseling. Group therapy is far cheaper than individual therapy and for you, would be far, far more useful - a community clinic offering group therapy would mean $10 a session, perhaps $20 at the most, and would go a long way towards your acquiring social skills.
Based on what you have written, IceCreamKid was spot on - your manner of communicating places you at odds even with people who are trying to assist you and must work very much against you in settings where people are not trying to assist you but are just doing their job. In the end, as IceCreamKid put, you are putting your own needs in jeopardy - your communication style might leave you feeling righteous, but won't get your pragmatic needs met. Right now you have a great opportunity to make it right with IceCreamKid by offering public apologies - since you offended IceCreamKid in public and made a public complaint to the moderators (which meant that you are falling back into the victim position, and that, in turns, proves IceCreamKid right), apologies should be made in public as well. Every person makes mistakes, and many of them. It is in correcting them gracefully that becoming a better person happens. Again, group therapy is far more useful and far cheaper in your case, so the best advice not just for this specific situation, but overall is to find community group therapy resources.
I still do not understand why copying was necessary. If it is because the original documents were hard copies, then please scan them and keep them as pdf files on your computer, so that next time, you will not need to endure the copying expense again for the same docs. Getting in the habit of scanning (digitizing) any important paper record that comes your way instantly is great (I am not walking the walk at this time, but I can talk the talk because in the past I did walk the walk and am still reaping the benefits). You also need to organize your digital storage. For that you need to determine your type of thinking - some people prefer folders, others tags, some prefer storage outside of email, others prefer sending emails with pdf attachments to themselves - figure out what would work for you in the long run by playing with different options. If you must pay the copying center, it is more economical to pay for one time scanning than for multiple times of hard copy copying. I hope it makes sense and is doable.
