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

  • Hi Ellie

    I have only recently received my diagnosis after a long term absence due to stress. I am a Building Surveyor, which I really enjoy, although the social side of the role was crippling me. I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to return.

    The most enjoyable jobs I've had have involved repetition and structure. I have been an engineer in the Army, a car valeter and a chef. I enjoy just getting my head down and cracking on.

    If you like fitness and teaching, could you be a Personal Trainer? I have a few ASD friends who love fitness but have never managed to get along with allistic traniers. Could be a niche in the market for you.
