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'm a warehouse clerk. I often hear, that I work below my qualifications and people wonder, what I'm doing there with my skills. But it's maximum I'm capable of, this job does not damage me mentally (although it's often loud), because I don't have to do small talk, so I'm at lower risk of saying something inappropriate or ridiculing myself by taking everything seriously and literally,  and most important- small talk is a hard job, that im lucky I can just skip. My job is based on routines, procedures,  my attention to detail is being praised (I notice all the transportation damages and report them immediately). I hope I will stay there long term, but I'm also a bit afraid of a possible burnout.
