Also, adding a cover letter to your applications might help. I wrote mine by looking at online samples

I would mirror the what they were looking for, making sure every thing was up front or no lying stretching the truth. got me my final position which lasted twenty one years. Actually helped others do this as I have an ability, writing.I did hear back from a few of the places i applied to, but i applied to LOT of places.

Oh of course you should not lie, but a bit of self marketing does not hurt. A lot of things you don't know, you learn at the workplace anyway.I would mirror the what they were looking for, making sure every thing was up front or no lying stretching the truth. got me my final position which lasted twenty one years.
When I was unemployed for two years I checked into every alternative position I could think of while taking quality courses, Had a family to look after fixing houses taking a course in heavy equipment operation when a part time position at a automotive assembly plant many hours away can available, They made break lines for Japanese cars wanted someone with a quality back ground previous experience in an assembly plant A few weeks later I got an offer from automotive parts supplier injection molding and painting parts for GM Saturn division The brake line company on the same day offered me a full time position. I took the plastic painting position even through it paid less. What do I know about break lines on cars. That's how life works you have to take chances I could not really afford the courses, stuck my neck out worked out OK. Taking two courses left the plant two hour drive ran to class.In terms of your former employment ruining your chances, that is possible. Best way to fix this is to build your background up by going towhen I was unemployed school if that is an option, volunteering somewhere once a week to have some kind of experience at all rather than do nothing at all, or take on a low paying job that you can get so that you have something on your belt.
You can always build yourself back up.
Also, look for other organizations that may work with people that are higher functioning.
I'm also assuming you have a Bachelor's degree at least, because if you don't have that, then there might not be as much opportunity for higher functioning.
May I ask what country you are in?
Do you drive and do you live near a big city?I don't have any degree, not even an associate degree. My dad was very opposed to me going to college when I graduated and I was burned out from taking so many extra subjects in high school as well. I live in the USA.
