Autistic and physically disabled. What jobs even exist for me?
(I live in UT near SLC. I have no license and take the bus. Working on getting a license, but need job for car)
I'm autistic and basically had to drop out of high school because of it. I'm going to get my GED, but I physically and mentally cannot do college. I really tried but it ends up in me burnt out. I can handle certificates and was thinking about getting an MOS certification since I enjoy working in programs like that, but AI will and has taken over so many jobs I was interested in.. I thought about getting into a trade of some sort, but I'm physically disabled and can't do physical labor jobs. I feel awful having to constantly go "but!" when people bring up job suggestions.
I just want to make 30-40k a year. I have no plans of having children and my bf, who is incredibly smart and talented, already has a career path lined up. I'm so proud of him, but I feel behind. Starting up a business is also out of the question as it'd lead to burnout. My dream job is a job where a boss tells me what to do and i just do it.
I used to work as a janitor and loved it honestly, but I can't do the physical labor anymore. I also worked customer service jobs and was good at that and defusing situations as i never got emotionally attached to my job in the sense i never brought the bad energy from angry customers home with me. I have a Microsoft word certificate and I was working on getting my Excel one, but I had to get surgery. Goal was the MOS certificate since I'd probably thrive in office work of some kind. Is it even worth getting though?
I have a really sensitive nose that makes being around people hard. I'm terrible at communicating with coworkers, either not speaking at all or oversharing, so i choose to not speak unless spoken to which made people upset. I am good at talking to people in a professional way (Like how you talk to customers) I also hate physical touch and completely shut down. My legs were deformed and i got surgery to fix both of them, but I'll still be disabled for life, I just have pretty legs and less pain. My upper body is great though!
I just want to make an income so I can help support my bf the way he's supported me over the years. I don't want to be dead weight anymore. Any help is appreciated. I've been searching for weeks and I'm just so lost
