The best way to deal with stress is to cut it off at the source if at all possible.
Life is best when my perspective is kept in check. Embrace yourself and your abilities, and you will overcome your disabilities.
Uncertainty is beautiful. Could you imagine being certain of everything all of the time? Sounds torturous.
Living hotel to hotel or without a home sounds really difficult. I'd make finding a home your number one priority. Would certainly cut down on the stress.
Your life story is pretty incredible. There are likely a multitude of things you could do with your story alone. I'd hit up social media to get the milk and muffin party up and running. Sounds like something that could make the rounds on Facebook or Twitter. #muffinsandmilk

Try to live in the moment. The vast majority of humanity spends all of their time either regretting the past or fearing the future. The present moment is where life always has and always will be lived.

Sorry, still don't buy it. Not that there isn't a Mike Williford, I just don't think you are him...
If all this is true, you should be able to get on disability. If you don't want to be on disability, great I respect that. But get on it until you can get a home or apartment.. living hotel to hotel is expensive and won't get you anywhere... not to mention your family paid for you to go to college, but won't let you come back home considering your disabilities...? I guess it's possible, just seems strange.
And there are plenty of white collar jobs that don't require you to be good a math.

This cant be real.
All of this and you lived with 3 NFL players. One of them won't help you out. Your family wont help you out? They all let you be homeless? You dont have money from your book?

How can the OP not hold a job?
Nothing about this illness would indicate he can't read or type on a computer. The mathematics part is a little troublesome, but knowing your numbers is not the same as counting or doing arithmetic (even though it appears most that suffer with this can do simple math)
I'm not saying he will hold some important job, but like a lot of people with various brain trauma they have to adjust.

Alright, let me preface this by saying that I have a child with autism and a neuromuscular disease. He will never hold a job or live independently. Not because of the autism because he is high functioning. If that was our only hurdle, I could get him to independence. His body, like yours, limits him. So, I'm going to talk to you like a mother. If you were my son, I would tell you this.
You are hanging your hopes on way too lofty ambitions without having a base. You are capable of holding a job, just maybe not one you would want right now. But, part of overcoming limitations is knowing where start. You're trying to go from 0 to 60 with no middle ground. Writing a book is great. Awareness and public speaking/stunts are great for your cause. But, they're not going to feed you. Whatever you can do physically, go get that entry level job. Obviously you can type (though I don't know how). I'm assuming you can talk on a phone. You can bag groceries. If you can drive, you can deliver pizza. Are these high paying jobs with a lot of clout? Nope. But, having a job is better than not having one any day. And while you are working whatever job you get, you can work on your other goals. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I stay home with my son now because he can't go to school anymore. I'm looking for a PT job to fill the gaps for my family. Whatever I find will not be something I dreamed of doing as a child. But, I write as well. I do public speaking as well. I just don't expect to be paid enough to live by doing these things. Ideally, your passion and your job match up. But, more often than not, they don't. It doesn't mean you give up on your passion to work a dead end job. And clearly your passion is not paying the bills. I don't know the specifics of your condition, but you seem like a fairly intelligent person. You know you better than anyone else and you know what you are capable of. Go do something and get some experience in independent living. And keep working at your advocacy. Right now, it's not your condition that is limiting you but your line of thinking.

Not everyone has direct access, not to mention, close friendships with multiple millionaires. If you have a cause worth donating to, it seems like you could easily make that happen. Anyone with that much money needs a tax shelter.
...Also, what's with the title?
