You will need to have a major input into this discussion and I am somewhat amazed you have written so little.
No one will sort this for you and you will need to talk to lots of people
So come on , tell us more so we can help
Workwise, Temple Grandin wrote an article called "Choosing the Right Job for People with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome", link:

There are a number of books about ASD people and the workplace for example:

I haven't read this book, but it title suggests that it might be helpful, "Turning Skills and Strengths into Careers for Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder":
Hi Robyn
Don't stress it - you're in exactly the same boat as everyone else at college/uni.
What qualifications will you get? What are your interests? What are you looking for in life (job satisfation, nice work environment, megabucks money, part-time work etc?)
If you have a year or so until you finish, I can really reccommend doing some kind of work if you can fit it in - even volunteering may not get you any money, but it demonstrates commitment, time keeping, work ethic and it also pads out your CV and will get you a reference to back you up when you're applying for real jobs.
