Rainbow kid, we have only your side of the story. I don't have any reason to doubt what you are saying, but I am wondering if you are reporting all the important details here.
You list quite a number of significant disabilities, and you should certainly be entitled to services based upon your disabilities.
However, a particular program may not be the right placement for you at the moment. Perhaps you need some time to mature, and to reflect on what you have learned in this job placement before you are ready to be a good employee. If people are perceiving your behavior as rude, then you will need to change your behavior. Would you keep going back to a business where you felt that you were treated rudely? The business which was employing you has a much larger obligation to its customers, who are the key to their business succeeding or failing, than they do to you. That's life in the real world, and if you can't accept that, then you aren't ready for a job yet.
Were you offered another type of program placement? If so, I would suggest that you decide to take advantage of this opportunity to learn mature and responsible behavior, so that you will be ready to succeed the next time you get a job placement. Every failure is a great learning opportunity, and if you really want to become a mature and responsible employee, then take this chance to learn what you really need to know in order to have a job.

If you have all those conditions documented by a doctor, then you have some kind of caseworker. Contact him or her and maybe she/he can help you. What they are trying to do is wrong. They can not just cut you off with the reason---you know. If you let it slide she/he will just cut you off and you still need help. Talk to your doctor too. If you are telling lies and stuff to people about her possibly he can help. I don't think you could-you have a communication disorder. Shes the one that really needs the help because she is really treating you unfairly and she's the one in authority here.

If you have these disorders that you listed, you must have some sort of social worker or counselor or MD that you see on a regular basis. Do you take medication for these? Maybe this person can advocate for you?

You need to find info for the ADA 'americans with disabilities act'.
This sounds like discrimination against your disabilities.
Go above the 'job coach' head. Go to this persons boss.
They have to have LEGAL reasons for closing your case.
Please also go to the web site www.schwablearning.org and sign up for free to post on their parent to parent message board.This is the BEST place for help and they can tell you exactly what to do!!

That's illegal. If this really happened there should have been a meeting, with all the people on your team. If this really happened you should complain to her supervisor.
If you are being rude to people on the job, you should have a behavioralist who is helping with social communication. Being 'just how your are' is not acceptable, and most people want to do better.
