If possible, try to find a remote job working for a government, city, county, state or federal - they have quotas for disabled employees and they are all supposed to be trying to increase the percentage of remote workers where possible. Also Government jobs are generally less demanding on deadlines - although there is more accountability for time spent usually. In addition, they have better attitudes with working around disabilities (mostly).
As far as the high IQ you mentioned, I had a similar problem. When I was working as a professor at university (I held the Chair of Computing for a time), I had a lot of intellectual equals and generally kept within that "sphere" for friendship. Once I left to "get a real job" I lost touch with a lot of them and found it hard to socialise with "regular" people as I found them slow and/or dimwitted in general (and often overly obsessed with sports). Dancing with them was fine but conversations were really hard work!
Luckily I ended up marrying an ex-cheerleader who also was a genius! Happily ever after, so far - although she had a accident and suffered major brain damage it didn't reduce her IQ, just slowed her down a bit and causes memory drop-outs now and then.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Relatable content. I married a genius too, although I'm the one that ended up with a disability (i'm schizoaffective)
Hey, dr. compsci.
how the hell do I implement arden's theorem in order to turn a finite state machine into a regular expression?
I've never been able to do it. I'll buy you beer if you can show me how. (c#, C++, java, I don't care)
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I think you'd enjoy Mihaly's work: [^].
What I find interesting is his combination of an emphasis on "total immersion" in the "state of flow," Quote: Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. combined with a very Stoic (as in Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations") view of the ability, and necessity, of/for the individual to create their own mental life;Quote: What I "discovered" was that happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events, but, rather, on how we interpret them. Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.

Great quotes. I'll definitely look up his work.

it's hard though, relearning what my limits are. that's probably been one of my major challenges becoming disabled. That and not being sure I can trust myself anymore.

Here goes, my first ever attempt at setting a crossword clue:
Endless speed, sing maybe, Robin? (8)
Endless speed = Haste
sing maybe = ings
Robin -> Sidekick -> HASTINGS (Poirot's sidekick)
I've no idea if this is good, bad, OK...

SPEEDING?
Anagram of "PEED SING"?

I was hoping you would say that! (It would have been a very poor clue if it was)

Perhaps you might want to add a hint to help us out?

Might be giving out the answer if I added anything to it... But, follow the path to "Robin"
