I’d read somewhere that some types of jobs are better than others for autism but for many of us, we don’t always have the right kind of qualifications and/or (relevant) experience - in my case at age 52, this was mostly 30 years in supermarkets in both Ireland and the U.K. in junior low-skilled roles, not by choice, as after being bullied in primary school and being sent away to a residential centre for 9 months to punish me for being bullied in primary school, I was not allowed do my Inter Cert nor Leaving Cert in Secondary/Vocational schools and from that point on, my career path was decided for me by others, enforced by the local Catholic Parish Priest in Rural Ireland, along with the local Gardai (police) and others, without any reference to myself - if I objected in any way at that time, I would have got a good hard “clip across the ear” and got (firmly) told to “cop myself on” for answering back with such “impertinence” in line with traditional Irish Catholic social teaching which my continued childhood disobedience “adding greater sin to sin which has already been committed” - it’s no wonder that we are not able to have confidence in ourselves nor our abilities let alone have any self esteem - such people need to realise that by doing this to us that they themselves are in a serious state of mortal sin
