I haven't been able to find a job for almost 2 years, and now my father is sick, so it looks like I'll have to support my mom financially... I hate this life... Don't know what to do anymore...

In what country do you reside?

If you live in the UK, or most western European countries, you could probably, at the very least, get some sort of "carer" allowance if you have to financially support your mother.

The US situation is a little more difficult. Especially with COVID. Though Amazon is always hiring.

Let me emphasize that I'm not "judging" or anything like that. Especially since I don't know the complexity of your situation.

The country I reside in doesn't really help anyone, and especially hates autistic people...

We ask this to better enable us in determining what resources might be available to you.

I can understand your reluctance to reveal your country-----but, like Fnord said, it would us guide you towards potential resources for autism in your country.
