I want to have fun bu ti also wan tmoney and im not sure which one to focus emor eon becasue i need money but im also bored.

i have autism, dxylexyia, depression, and possibly adhd also my allergys are bad and i take meds for most of this stuff. sense im depressed i feel like i stink at mos tthings or i lack something, or just something is missing. my family says i cant get a job intill a get thru highschool but im not sure if that will happen, so i might have to do a sidehustle of sorts. im very limited like my pc isint "modern" i have derpession and whatnot but i do want to do something while i still can, but im not sure.

sorry if this become too long, also i tend to post content like this alot but i seem to only listen to myself also i hate hormones and mood swings. i feel like my family dosent understand me even if i just screamed at them i feel they still woudent understand anything.

Do you have access to a Regional Center or something similar? I used to work as a coach for young adults with disabilities (I am autistic myself, level 1) and we would have volunteering opportunities along with formal job opportunities for our clients. Contact your case worker so they can guide you to the right program
