Ruby, I agree with Unaluna. You are doing the wrong kind of work. I am disabled, and a business owner who employs disabled persons, and I wish that all businesses were inclusive or at least accommodating as I try to make my business, but unfortunately most are not. And especially for certain kinds of disabilities, certain kinds of work can be worse.

What is your education level? I see your writing vacillates between clear, articulate, and what I interpret at around an undergrad level and when you're upset/triggered I do see it devolves a bit (however, I'd say it's normal for people's capacity to diminish a bit when they are upset, so that's neither here nor there).

It seems like you have a computer at home. I wonder if there is opportunity for you to start with maybe a work from home data entry job or even in an office, data entry, where you aren't customer facing, don't have to deal too much with interpersonal stuff at work, and can be productive and successful.

Someone mentioned programming - there's definitely a lot more leeway for less developed social skills in computer programming than in customer facing jobs. Have you studied any computer programming? Is this of any interest to you?

What are you good at that maybe you'd like to do, besides work in food service or retail?
