partner and i really really need to move to our own apartment as soon as possible. their income isn't enough for us. they and our therapists want me to get a job. but i don't even know if i can get a job. i can't do hygiene by myself. i can't do phone calls. i can't go anywhere by myself. i can't get ready to go somewhere without a lot of buffering and reminders. i can't remember to take my meds. i struggle to make food for myself. i have a lot of sensory problems and get overstimulated really easily. i have frequent verbal shutdowns and can't speak to strangers 95% of the time. i have literally no social skills (2nd percentile in my assessment). and that's not even including any physical disability stuff.

is it even possible for me to get and keep a job? i don't see how i'll ever be able to do that, especially not in the time frame we need. and my partner says they're scared i'll never be able to get a job and be independent and take care of myself. i don't want that to be true but i just don't know how i'm going to have a job when i literally can't even take care of myself. and if i don't get a job we can't move out and we desperately need to. i don't know what to do.
