How can someone with Asperger's Find Their Strengths?

I'm someone who has Asperger's Syndrome and finding the suitable enough job for me has been really stressful and difficult.

I would like to ask the following two questions that I have:

1. What does the term "strengths" actually mean? I don't personally understand what this exactly means.

2. How can someone with Asperger's discover what their strengths are?

The extra difficulty I am having is that I happen be to one of those with Asperger's that does not have any specific/fixated interests or even special talents or abilities.

    Strengths = Anything that makes money for your boss.

    Lets say the job is a Barista (Posh talk for Cafe Assistant).
    If you can make a cup of Coffee faster than the average time that means you are a highly productive worker. This means you create more profit per hour than the average worker.

    Lets say you can create computer programs using the Python code. Your skill set is a highly needed form of skilled Labor which is a strength due to the fact that it can create computer programs that sell at high prices.
