Hang in there. It’s very difficult for anyone to find a job in this economy - you’re competing with 40 year olds with years of experience who have been laid off.

Don’t think of yourself as being average. You’re gifted/LD. And if an employer specifically welcomes people with disabilities, you might consider disclosing the CP. From what you’ve posted, you have done such a good job of compensating that no one would guess. Another possibility might be to try something temporary, to get a feel for what you might enjoy. Paralegal work could be a good fit - would match your strengths in writing, and some firms will train you. Good luck.
