Well, for a visa, they don't just hand them out. You need a British company to sponsor you for a work visa, or you go to school in the UK for a student visa. Alternatively, marry a British person but that's tough. Unfortunately since you're American, you can't get a working holiday visa, which is basically a "free visa" independent of any particular company... but you could see if any other countries offer them for Americans if you're really desperate, someone told me Australia does, but I'm not sure.

Unfortunately, for sponsored work visas, as others have said, you will almost definitely need to be doing skilled work - essentially, you have to prove to the UK that you are more qualified to do a certain job than any EU candidate.

If you have your heart absolutely set on living in the UK, I'd suggest that going as a student is the easiest, provided you can get into a school.

Honestly, though, if you just want to live abroad, it would be much easier to go to a country where you can easily get a job (and a visa!) teaching English. Unfortunately, you won't be able to in England for obvious reasons. I think Asia and South America are relatively easy to get English teaching jobs, provided you have a bachelor's degree. If you get TEFL certification, you could teach in Europe (non-English speaking country, most likely). But still, that does rely on some education. If your cognitive disability makes it difficult to go to school/finish school/teach, that'll be tough.

If you are as desperate as desperate could be, you could go to the UK on a tourist visa and work (illegally) at a hostel or something, getting cash. I knew someone who did this. She had a good time, but of course, if she were caught, she would be instantly deported and banned from entering the country ever again. I wouldn't want to take that risk, myself.
