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

  • I work in a school (SEN). I like the fact that it is timetabled. This gives me structure. But it is also varied so I don't get bored. I cannot do repetitive jobs. I need my brain to have stimulation. It can also be a very rewarding job and I thrive when it's going well.

    There are definite downsides though. The timetable can change which I find challenging. Communication can be difficult. It can also be a tough job sometimes and whilst I thrive when it's going well, I get very disheartened when it's not.

    I also like animals. I did originally want a career with animals but I quickly found once animals were my job that they were not a hobby any more. So I changed plan.
