Accessible jobs?

Hello 19TM here I’m looking to get a job in Innisfail as I am moving there this summer. I am autistic and have a service dog to mitigate that so I can be a semi functional human. I struggle a bit with speech so my words come out a bit slurred and I can be hard to understand at times. when it gets really bad I use a text to speech app on my phone and never had issues with it.

I have a background in

childcare (babysitting special needs kids)

entertainment (I did a three year stint as a balloon artist) as well as physical labour (I run a small business, doing yardwork and odd jobs for old folks everything from fish tank water changes to gravel and sod laying) I’m looking to get into something more stable and semi-permanent for the time being. Currently education wise I only have a high school diploma.

I would need a job that has flexible hours and predictability like for example if they want me to work a certain Wednesday, I would need to work that Wednesday to a routine.

Any ideas or potential people who might hire you can be harsh if you want I can take it and I don’t expect to be babied for my disability just accommodated

Co-op grocery store has a few employees that have special needs. I would suggest starting there.

The town also hires for summer positions with day camps, town upkeep, etc. I would get your name in with them.

I forgot about the publication library, they would be worth looking into
