I can't get a job (Vent)

SpoilerAbleism/Bigotry (NSFW)

I'm crying right now. Six months of applying, and I've been rejected every time. The most recent job I applied to rejected me (after four interviews!!) and couldn't be bothered to inform me until I sent a follow-up email. I've had promising in-person interviews for multiple jobs, only to be rejected after the in-person interview. Personally, I think they see I'm autistic (or "odd" or "antisocial") and reject me because of that.

But I need to live. I need to eat. I am autistic + have bipolar disorder. I take five medications a day, and I'm so fucking TIRED. Getting on Disability is not an option (I'm in Mississippi) and the funds are slowly dwindling.
