Tutor.com I made 10-12 dollars/hour for tutoring Trig and Calc, and that was a decade ago; I'm sure wages have gone up. I made hundreds of dollars per month, depending on the hours I chose.
I will take a look into that

if I understood you correctly, you said that you want to work about 8 hours per week? And you expect to retire on that?
No, what I meant is right now with whatever funk I have going on with my mental state. I think that is as much as I can work without running into major major major problems. However, assuming I could figure it out I think I could work a normal job.
Because they are so far and few between, if there was a IT state job that I think I could get. I would get it just for the retirement. I think I would need to figure out how to withstand it, but for the better or worse it doesn't mean I would limit myself if the right spot opened up.
It's just one of those things I have to be careful with because until I figure out this funk. I think if I push it even a normal weekend job could do extreme damage which could set me back that much more. I think it has something to do with stress, but IDK. My hope is maybe someone can point me in the right direction because Google honestly isn't helping. And maybe if someone knows, maybe they can let me know if time heals this.

but if you're doing nothing now
Actually I am trying a few things now. Like 10 min ago I was just replying back to some emails for possible clients on Etsy. Where they were asking if I can customize an order.
I'm trying to get into product development. Because I designed a number of things in the past to fix stuff around my parent's house. I am trying to see if I can get into a licensing deal to make it product. I so far am not having any luck in that, but I am still trying since a single deal can pay at least a normal yearly salary just in collecting royalties. So at least I could get my head straight without being completely out of luck if I was to be kicked out.
There is a few other things going on, but I think you get the idea.

I don't understand how living just fifteen minutes away from a jobsite is a problem.
Driving can actually be a problem into itself for me. But ignoring that, I was just trying to make sense on why temp agencies tend to not get back in my area. It's not just me, I heard from many others it's virtually impossible to get anything through them. And when you can get something it's an hour away 1 way. This goes beyond my hard limit when it comes to driving.
Even when I went to a local CC, a few times I had to stop by the side of the road (at a gas station or parking lot) just to make it the rest of the way. So my 15 min trip is automatically extended to maybe a 25 or 30 min trip just so I can get to home/school safe while in what most would call light traffic. I never gotten into this with my parents and many others because it could limit me if I need to help them. But it is something I worry about when a job says there is travel even in the city itself.
I looked it up a while back, and it seems to be kind of common for some who are autistic to experience problems while driving. Many times it's a bit more than what I get, but there is a reason why I have a hard limit towards where I drive.
