What jobs best suit you as an autistic adult?

Ellie 567

Hi everyone, 

I'm looking for a new role and was wondering what roles everyone on here does for work? For me, I like:

Structure, routine, specific tasks (so I dont get confused with vague instructions). My hobbies are: 

Fitness

Animals 

English 

I used to do some tutoring which I liked. 

Thanks,

Ellie

  • My career was as a pharmacist which suited an autistic perfectly. I left that (midlife crisis?) and started work at an animal charity. I would say DON'T work in this area if you are autistic. The sector attracts people who can't work well with people (yes, I know just like me with ASD) and that means the working dynamic is harmful if you are in any way emotionally sensitive as part of your autistic traits. Feedback from other people suggest its not just me who feels like this
