I got a CS degree earlier this year. I'm Autistic and am genuinely really passionate about it. I've put out hundreds of applications and got 1 interview but was ultimately rejected. I've tried applying to retail positions, even with a dumbed down resume so I don't look overqualified, and they don't want me either. I'm extremely low on money and I've been getting really bad panic attacks lately. I don't even know what to do anymore.

I believe some tech companies have neuro diversity hiring programs, if you haven't stumbled across those yet. The jobs don't demand less, but they have a setup to be more supportive of the candidates.

Thanks. I will go look into that.
