That sucks man. I heard a similar story from one of my former friends who tried to get on with drs and they had him work at this party center (the big ones with a bunch of games and a food court and the loud people) as an introvert with autistic traits and he hated it, but I am willing to do a job that I hate for now just for a paycheck at this point.
I eventually want to start a business reselling goods online or refurbishing appliances or electronics but it takes money to make money so I need any job no matter how miserable it is to start saving up money while I'm living cheaply for now so I don't end up struggling more 7 months from now when my housing grant expires.
DRS remains my only viable option because I simply lack the knowledge and experience required to find a job on my own with my issues and I need all of the help I can get.
Still though, any advice I can get would be amazing. It's not like I'm asking for a lot here, just a minimum wage job either at a fast food place, a Walmart, or even a Goodwill at this point that many normal high school students seem to have no trouble getting.
