I do not think finding online jobs is easy for anyone. I have inquired.

Well, they aren't online jobs. They are jobs in which you are furnished parts and you assemble them into a finished product. The employer ships the parts to you, you put 'em together, and then you ship them back and get paid for what you've done. I've seen some in which pieces to eye glass cases are sent to you, for example. IOW, it's not physically demanding work, and it's not online work. I have no idea what the pay per unit is, but it beats sitting around and doing nothing.

I would be glad to, but I can't make any representation about these firms. Google "work at home assembly jobs", and you can find all that you'd like. It's worth some investigation. I have heard anecdotally that some of 'em are pretty good.

I like being interesting but not being pitied.

I am not severely disabled -- I can walk, I can function, and I can communicate. But I can not run due to my weight and due to Moderate Autism and Depression I can not work over 10 hours a week, I can not drive and I can not hold a job.

A person with severe attention deficit would not be able to articulate his/her ideas. A person with moderate attention deficit can articulate ideas very well. But driving a car requires a different degree of attention. Some people with severe Autism can not perform basic functions. I can perform them easily, but working requires much higher ability then I have. That is a huge problem -- lack of income.

Not to make your issue a larger issue, but for me, if ever there was a cause or reason to support a guaranteed income for certain segments of society it would be for those who are willing to work at whatever they can for as long as they can but are unable to manage the rigors of full time employment.

I wish you all the very best in life and I hope you can continue to strive for independence with dignity as all human beings should.

Thanks. The large issue is that millions of disabled people do not have the support I have. Many of them become addicts or homeless. USA fails millions of people.

Or are languishing on wait lists for services, have committed suicide, incarcerated due to lack of services, institutionalized due to lack of services (both in and out of their state of origin).

Sad but true. Canada and most of Europe have a much more helpful system.

And might I add, with last week's announcements, scores of cases are no longer going to be going through the U.S. DOJ and will have to rely almost exclusively on the courts.

Many, far too many, people with disabilities have great difficulty taking ownership of their disability. That goes double for people who have invisible disabilities. Good on you for standing up. I believe your post will give other people with a disability the courage to take ownership of their disability. I hope people without a disability - temporarily able bodied (TABS) will learn something from your post as well.

Many if not most Americans will have a disability before they die. Some people get their disability earlier than others. I did. I have a severe to profound bi-lateral hearing loss.

Best to you, SC.

What? That is the one word I use the most.

I don't pity you. I admire you. You are very strong in spite of some great challenges. Live life to its fullest and make your mark on the world where and how you can. I'm sorry about the money problem but money isn't everything. I wish you a great deal of happiness in this life.

Thank you very much! Actually I try to minimize my challenges -- I do not inspire for what I can not achieve.

Where do you live?
 
So long as you have enough income to make ends meet, any sort of negativity you feel can sometimes be you enforcing that on yourself. There's actually no need to feel bad about one's limitations. We are our own worst enemy and make ourselves feel bad often (at least I have done so many times).
