Can only imagine how tough that must be Ashleigh. Stick at it and I'm sure you'll find an employer who appreciates the unique things you can bring to their job.
Not an expert but I think there are some agencies out there who help people with disabilities get into work. Is that something you've looked into?

If you receive Centrelink Job Seeker payment you can request to have an Employment Services Assessment (ESAt) conducted. This determines anything that may stop you from being able to work full time and they then refer you to an employment agency that works with people with disabilities find suitable employment.

Is there an agency you can turn to that helps find roles that suit?
Could be one way to get your foot in the door and know they're willing to work with you

Hi Ashleigh, look up IEA 🙂
It’s inclusive Employment Australia.
Then do some research on IEA providers in your area. Check out their google reviews and go into the offices and speak to them, see who you feel most comfortable with. You can always have a support person attend with you, anytime you want.
The right provider and the right job coach will help you find the right job match and an employer who is supportive and will work with your strengths to help you shine! 🍀
Good luck!
