I feel more scared and anxious than ever having to look for a part time job to accompany my time at college. Ive been trying to look online but i find it all so confusing and im socialy anxious so trying to ask around is terrifying to me. I need to start earning something to help pay for my mum. This subject i think is challenging my fear of social interaction and i just feel run over.
Hi Jake,
First off, speaking as someone who is Autistic and has spent a massive chunk of his adult life working with young adults with learning needs (NOT that I class Autism as a learning need, but a large portion of the young people I have worked with have Autism as well as their SEND) I can tell you - it can be a RIGHT pain in the bum, so the trouble you feel now is perfectly justifiable. BUT, the greatest obstacle I faced getting young people into employment was the young persons willingness to work. So to get someone like you who wanted to work would have been a DREAM 
I supported a number of the young people (YP) I worked with to play to their strengths and not fight against a perfectly normal ASD reaction to things like having difficulty speaking to people, or approaching customers, or being in busy spaces - it can be a autistic nightmare! As a peer mentor once told me You wouldn't expect someone with cerebral palsy to work on a building site, so why would you try and get someone with autism to work in socially intense environment like an office or a shop? and he's completely correct.
I had a lot of success supporting YP with creating their own very casual businesses, that they could work in their own area (or an area of their choosing if they lived somewhere they didn't feel would be sympathetic).
They type of work my YP worked were things like
I found that most people would be incredibly supportive and kind, and willing to give the YP a chance. Because the types of jobs they were suggesting were the types of things which were of value, but people didn't want to do themselves.
Consider creating some fliers which you can post through some letter boxes, along the lines
Hello,
My name's Jake and I was wondering if I could help you? I am a young autistic man who wants to begin my career, and earn some money to help support my family. Because of how autism effects me, I find working in busy environments like shops or offices difficult. So I am trying to create my own business where I can work in a way which suits my neurodiversity.
[Then explain your business - e.g. I am an animal lover and enjoy working with dogs. If you have a pet which you would like walking while you are at work, I would be very happy to do this. I would ensure they have a 3 mile walk, are safe and well looked after]
If you would like to meet me to discuss more, please email me on jakesmith@gmail.com or call me on 07858456235
I look forward hearing from you,
Jake
If you think this is something you think can work, I'd love to hear how you get on
