Just noticed this post so sorry the reply is very much later than it should have been.
What did you graduate in? And then what did you enjoy most, what did you score most highly in? What were your tutor's positive comments to your assignments? This should give you some ideas.
This is the trouble with vague non-leading questions, but interviews are full of them to the detriment of those with an asd and I for one do not know what to say. Like "Tell me about yourself", to me it just brings another question "What do you want to know".
A better way round the "what are your strengths and weaknesses" would be to think of the job and look at the job description and see which part of the job really appeals to you - that is your strength. But bear in mind that the writers of job descriptions seem to write in verbose terms and make even the simplest tasks seem hard. The job description usually needs translating into plain English first!
