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

  • Technical roles where I am largely my own boss.

    By accident or design I end up doing something other people aren't good at, get good at it, take it over, then get left to get on with it as no one else wants it or can do it.

    I ought to be doing more than I am, but I have got comfortable. I could earn more but I can't really be bothered. I don't want to burn out again, but maybe I can avoid it now I know.

    Now I have been diagnosed, once I get fully well again, I am wondering whether to push myself a bit more. I don't know what I want out of life at the moment.
