A lot of call-center type jobs in the US had shifted to work-from-home well before COVID. Things like account support for ISPs and cable mobile carriers and Sony/Xbox.

Consider !micromobility@lemmy.world for transport solutions (my primary transportation is a bicycle even though I can drive and have a car).

As for finding work, figure out what you can do/are good at, and learn to do it well. For me, it was IT, but I've known people on the spectrum in all sorts of fields from photography to administration. You just have to find a thing or things that you like/can tolerate, then start networking/working your way in however you can. Certifications, trade schools, or even maybe just starting out with a hobbyist group - whatever you can do to distinguish yourself, learn, and connect with other people in the field.

There may be resources or groups either from the government or private organizations that can help you, but it can depend on where you are. Not a strict necessity but it could be helpful.

Have you looked up civil service jobs? Even with the Trump shit show there are still government jobs out there, and many have 'reasonable accommodations' for people who need them.

Also, get this book. "Discover What You Are Best At." Linda Gail. It's a bunch of self tests you can knock off in half a day, followed by a list of jobs that use those skills. The job list is divided up by how much education you need.

If you have an actual diagnosis then you can get a job coach.

If you're not capable of getting a job, they can help you get to that point. I had an ex that was one and she'd even "work" with the client at their job for a month or two till they were comfortable. And up to a year trying to get some clients a job to start with.

Again though, these programs are only really available to people with actual diagnosis from medical professionals.

If you're logically minded or don't mind repetitive tasks, QA testing is not too difficult to get into (comparatively, I'm aware of the state of the job market). Most companies will give you on the job training, and the work can theoretically be done from home.

It would likely require in person training and possibly a few weeks in a office at the start. As much as I'd love to recommend building a train network first, perhaps friends, neighbors, and (non-predatory) loans for taxis/rideshare would be enough until the first paycheck.

Keep ranting online. The world is broken, not you. You may as well rant, shout, and complain about it.

My first thought is to ask if you have IT skills that would enable you to do remote work - even if it's a fixed-term contract or casual to start with.

Not being able to drive can be a significant limiting factor, especially if your family have health issues and may depend on you at some point. Does your situation allow for you to learn to drive and get your licence?

What country are you in? This can help us possibly to find resources.

Ask the government or a charity to help you help yourself.

If you can't even work for others, what makes you think you can work for yourself? If you have no money for a bus, where's all the money from work going?

I'd get a part time job at a small store

I cant really get a job because i cant drive and there are no buses
