I was wondering as an Aspie myself. What jobs do those of you with Asperger's do for a living?
What jobs do you think would be suitable for someone with Asperger's like myself? Any ideas?
Since graduating in 2013 in Communication with PR (some part of that was to try to understand the things that are hard to understand with autism - turns out, even if you understand them, you can't change a lot of them!). Since then I struggled to find work, in fact I don't even feel competent in the area of my degree to be honest. I had a placement and it was like I hadn't a clue. in 2009-10 I completed the first year of a sport foundation degree, but I always wanted to finish it so I did last year. Find a job has been tough and finding work I enjoy even tougher. I have had jobs in the communication and sport industry, both of which I didn't enjoy. I now want to try to be a mechanic in order to do a job I would imagine I would like and finally earn some money too. I also feel help for us has been poor. I have had trouble with work but there's no support - doctors just sign post me and it's a circle of passing me on, financially its also tough because work is quite hard for me. I want to work, but I want some support to help me manage my working life long term.
