You can file for disability and if awarded you can still work a part time job. My son has disability but works also. But the SSA doctors have said he can not manage his own money so keep that in mind. That can happen to you. They can also take your drivers licenses away. When you file and if you are approved they may make stipulations and you make not agree with them. However if filing and getting approved for disability will mentally help you and improve your quality of life then do it.

They can also put you in touch with groups to help you live on your own. My son has autism and mild retardation.
