Yes. You obviously have no talent for Chess. Look at other things to do.

It shall come to absolutely nobody'a surprise that I FKING SUCK AT CHESS. I am unable to secure ELO over 200, and in the rare case I do, it won't last for 10 minutes. I struggle to win matches, struggle to find help, and every single one of my friends are rated much higher than me. I'm about ready to give up on chess entirely. If you have help that you can provide, don't bother. My autistic ahh brain will struggle to understand the simplest concepts. (Don't say I am not autistic, I have been diagnosed by a professional doctor that I have autism) So with no other options, I am faced with one final decision. I don't quit and I preserver, and by doing so, I get beat again and again and again and again , over and over and over and over and over again until I can't handle it anymore, or I save myself the headache and the dignity and quit.

What shall I do?

I'll be honest. Maybe chess is NOT the right thing for you. Some people get very overwhelmed by it. Don't be too hard on yourself and do something you truly enjoy.

Or you can just like quit dude

No Don't! If you give up, you won't be famous! and if you continue, you make a lot of money as well. And you can be a chess coach at a school and they will pay you 100,00 whatever your money is.

Chess is about having fun. Not competitiveness

Nah, don’t give up. 2 months ago I literally sucked at chess (prob 100 playing strength), now I don’t blunder all my pieces off my board on move 5. If u don’t want a coach, u can study chess on the internet (GothamChess). I don’t have a coach and I feel pretty good. I’m around 300-500 playing strength (rarely the game review says I play like a 1000) I’m arguably the best in my class. Maybe try out chess books, watch YouTube videos, watch gms play (that didn’t rly work out for me), and learn tactics. Learn an opening suitable for u, calculate, jus have a fun time overall. Don’t get stressed over chess, it’s jus a game, it is for fun (I tell myself this every day lol). Also I forgot abt studying with chess engines, play bots, study openings with them. They’re pretty good. Also, for longer calculating time, I recommend beginners to play Rapid, don’t play Blitz or Bullet, u don’t rly have time to think for them, but u have time to think in rapid. Good luck!
