As part of a rehabilitation program where a team of various professionals help people with mental illness to go live and work independently as far as possible. (It likely would take years in your case too.)
These programs are designed to help people with all kinds of mental illness, even schizophrenic people.
They do provide special job environments as part of that.

I have a nice thick book on this subject somewhere at home but I'm not able to get to it and look it up now. So I just googled the wiki article. If I remembered the title of the book I'd tell you, but unfortunately I do not.
It really sounds like so far no one focused enough on your case to help you with that enough. But I don't know about your history/background, I'm only going by this thread. But I do know that if they let you work in a regular McDonald's then you are not receiving the best possible care right now. And that is a problem for your mental health.
Good luck with getting better professional care.
EDIT: The last thing I want to add. Checking out divine1966's link, it does also mention:
"The Autism Response Team can help you learn more about (see the bolded especially):

- Schools and special education
- Advocacy and support
- Adult services - including post-secondary programs and employment
