I'm 20 years old and diagnosed with ASD and really struggling to find a job that is suitable for me, I have been to countless interviews and got jobs but struggled to cope with the busy environment and end up quitting. I tried being self employed and had my own business for a while but I closed it due to not being able to manage as I get to stressed out easily and I don't have any support. And I'm now looking again at getting a job
Has anyone got any advice or guidance on finding a job that will support me into employment with my ASD?
Temple Grandin has advice on the types of jobs that might suit particular types of people on the Autistic spectrum, see link below:

Thank you very much for posting this. I created a thread called Dream Jobs on here recently, and this link has given me some more inspiration. I would like to change job to something that gives me less anxiety and general suffering, but really struggling to know what to move to that can work for me.
