Occupational therapy would definitely help!! It would help lessen the sensitivities and provide coping mechanisms and they'd probably be able to advise places where she can find work. I'm really passionate about the Deaf community, and many of them have similar difficulties--communication issues, lack of education, etc.--and there are so many opportunities for work for them, so there's definitely opportunities for your friend. It seems she'd need someplace without an overwhelming amount of human to human contact and someplace that's not sensory overwhelming, and does not require more than a high school diploma. I could doing filing at a business as something feasible. Postal service (which pays so well!!) honestly these are just two of many opportunities. There are empty meant advisor type resources that could be of help, as well. Don't loose hope!
