I have mild autism and due to that and anxiety/depression have never had a job and I'm 26. I feel a bit overwhelmed and feel like I don't stand much of a chance due to my lack of work history and I'm very limited in what I can do, due to sensory issues/processing etc. I have a degree, though.
I would like to work from home but I need to be able to cover my rent and bills. I'm on ESA and DLA and have been since I was 16.
If I went for a job outside the home, it would have to be somewhere quiet, without bright lighting, simple and repetitive work so I don't get overwhelmed, so that rules out most places. I also couldn't work with a group of people.
