I recently lost my job due to being autistic, which I believe was the reason, even though I can't prove it. I'm 24, unemployed, and living with my parents, and it's been really tough. I've applied to countless positions but haven't heard back from anyone. The job market feels impossible, and I struggle with academics, which adds to my frustration. I dream of telling stories and creating art, but I know that won't pay the bills or help me become independent. I have 1.5 years left on my parents' insurance, and I really don't want to rely on them too much. I feel like I'm stuck in a cycle of applying and getting ghosted, even by places like fast food. I'm open to working in trades or taking unpaid internships, but I don't know how to get my foot in the door. It feels like I'm surrounded by opportunities that I can't reach, and I'm not sure what to do next.
