What do you do for income?

What do you all do for income? I personally work at UnitedHealthCare in the Medicaid Dept as a Coordination of Benefits Rep and the Online Sales Director/Web Admin at the local E-Cig shop in town.

Thankfully both of my jobs are minimal on the social aspect and I get to spend 90% of my time at a computer. The most talking I do is the occasional meeting with a supervisor or updates on the state specific processes.

Welfare benefits the problem is if you limit yourself that Will become the problem you will become limited.
What I seem to do is pick up on phrases that feel good to me and doggedly keep on doing them,I noticed somebody in a supermarket always seemed happy so I copied one of the things she did ,of course a lot of neuro typical women talk very naturally .
I started doing this when I was with my mother's family when we were at my mothers mothers house of the old talked and didn't purposely tried to engage me in the conversation I told my mother and she said you're just have to talkI started doing that and now I realise I was autistic so I set myself a lot I could talk for Britain and I mean that literally I have literally talk to until I have gone hoarse hope this is not offensive and hope that helps

I would love to go and earn money, but I am just not able to do and so, hopefully once I am officially diagnosed with social anxiety, I may be in for some financial aid. And with that financial aid, I can do a bit of saving and just maybe be able to purchase a car that I do not need a licence for and that, in turn, will aid me in finding work.

I live in France, which is why it all so much more difficult for me.

There is no good me applying for work, because I need to get there and back.

Other than that, I sell on ebay and am the one who does our book keeping.

 

[RiverSong]

Nothing at the moment. I have a few things stacked against me at this point of my life, but I'm looking for a job to come through soon. I'm doing volunteer work in the meantime.

...and just maybe be able to purchase a car that I do not need a licence for...

Is that a France thing?

 

[Buzzerfly]

Social security, and I'm trying to get people to buy/read my book.

Maybe she meant like a small moped or motorcycle?

 

[celestialregale]

Absolutely nothing. I can't drive (spatial awareness issues) and I live in the country where everything is really spread out.

Before I drove, I bicycled everywhere. (Did you know that the safety bicycle is credited for enabling the women's movement [NPI] in the USA?)

I didn't. I love bicycling! Unfortunately, the closest sign of civilization is over 10 miles away, (up and down the hills of kentucky) I'm not that determined!XD

I wish I had the coordination to ride a bike, but I trip walking on flat ground which makes me the source of a lot of jokes.

How about an adult trike? (I use one on my paper route.)

Adult Trike? Like those ones where you pretty much sit/lay on your back and the "handlebars" are on either side? I don't know if I explained what I'm seeing well enough or not. I don't know if I could do a bike at all. I have a hard time not being contained I guess. I can't do ladders because I don't feel secure. I can ride inside a vehicle as long as I have my seatbelt on before the vehicle is put in gear. Everything else just feels to open. I suppose I could try a trike to see what it's like

You have described a recumbent trike. Regular adult trikes look like mine,

The shop life really sucks, especially when it's a small shop and you're one on one with customers.
