Best types of jobs for people with autism

I'm not sure there is a list nor characteristics that can be assigned as "autistic friendly/suitable" because we are all so different.  

However, it is probably reasonable to suggest that we "feel" our job experience more acutely than most so we need it to be "bearable" in a profound way that doesn't apply to an NT.

I can certainly say that in my 30 years in supermarket retailing, regardless of an autism diagnosis or otherwise, supermarket jobs are (never) a “good fit” for people with our condition, as despite thier denials to the contrary, the bullying and prejudice and discrimination in supermarkets from managers and colleagues alike, backed up by in-house trade unions due to “partnership agreements” is off the scale and it’s got far worse in the 3 years since my redundancy after 17 years from my last store in Sept 2019 - during my time at my last store, I knew of at least 2 people with Autism long before my own diagnosis in 2021 and the way they were treated was appalling - citing “mental health issues” and “behavioural issues” management and unions alike (where the unions were totally dismissive) along with others in the store, got them falsely accused of theft in one instance, where the diagnosis was fully disclosed on initial application some years previously in both cases - enduring bullying has always been seen as part and parcel of working in supermarkets right from the start and even long before I joined my last supermarket (where I’d endured all forms of bullying and prejudice during the entire 17 years I’d been there) I’d heard of a tragic case in London, where due to bullying a young person had taken thier own life, the others at the store were threatened to remain silent by management, the family were offered compensation, but only on condition that they sign a “gagging clause” to never speak about the incident, yet somehow someone “broke ranks” and the story made it onto an online forum which I discovered some years later after I’d joined that same company, who only want to create the false impression of compliance with employment law and yet behind the scenes they are breaking the law despite thier “policies and procedures” and this supermarket is also well known for other “sharp practices” over the years with both customers and suppliers, not just with staff - even during Covid, I found it impossible even before my diagnosis to even get any interviews via the online application process with any supermarket and frankly, it’s just as well - they are also known to make it as difficult as possible to obtain truthful written references once one leaves for any reason and if they suspect that someone is about to leave and/or try a different career, they give “bad” telephone and email references to all potential future employers, even though they know that this is clearly illegal, assisted by the trade unions who are simply “yes men” for management, as it’s “part of your employment contract” (renewed and must be signed annually) to join and be part of that trade union for the entire time you work there, with union dues stopped at source by the company even before tax and any other deductions - in recent years, Union shop stewards are not present in stores and the only union presence is to get people to sign up to the union while also actively preventing any other unions from coming into the store to properly represent workers and while preventing workers at a store from setting up thier own unions, which I have personally witnessed such attempts being actively suppressed by unions and management alike - people with autism, who are facing potential bullying issues when working in supermarkets in particular, are especially disadvantaged, especially if they try to obtain any justice for bullying, even with the help and support of advocates, so supermarket jobs, even part time and short term, are always best avoided for people with autism
