I have both autism and ADHD, and I just feel pretty awful since I graduated college. I'm really low-functioning; most of the time, I can't even get basic household tasks done, much less find a job. My funds are dwindling, and soon paying for HRT will be a challenge. I feel like it wasn't this bad when I was younger; I'm now 21 and it's starting to get unbearable. I cannot really get meds cause I don't have insurance.

So sorry to hear you're struggling.

Try contacting charities, maybe related to your conditions, they may be able to offer guidance.

Chances are there are some social systems that can help you. But it can be really tricky to find out about them.
