Job hunting is impossible!

NAS89250

Does anyone else struggle finding a job?? Whenever I look up autistic friendly jobs, Web developer or computer engineer, or tech support stuff comes up. It feels really stereotypical. Like, not all of us are mathematical geniuses, or know how to work a damn computer. 

I need a job, hell, I'm even struggling to get a job as a cleaner. 

Can someone help me find one? All I have is an entry level 3 English and entry level 2 maths under my belt. I don't drive. I struggle with communication.
