Job hunting is impossible!

NAS89250

Does anyone else struggle finding a job?? Whenever I look up autistic friendly jobs, Web developer or computer engineer, or tech support stuff comes up. It feels really stereotypical. Like, not all of us are mathematical geniuses, or know how to work a damn computer. 

I need a job, hell, I'm even struggling to get a job as a cleaner. 

Can someone help me find one? All I have is an entry level 3 English and entry level 2 maths under my belt. I don't drive. I struggle with communication.

    What are your main areas of interest where you have knowledge (even if it is something rather random like Doctor Who) - that may help us come up with suggestions.

    Other things to help us with suggestions are:

    Are you OK working outdoors?

    Are you physically fit enough for an active job?

    You mention you struggle with communication - can you respond ok to fairly straightforward directions from a manager? Is it talking back that is the issue?

    Are you OK learning things from a computer through a training course?

    Are there ary other issues you have that would stop you from certain types of jobs? Allergic to animals for example, unable to walk long distances etc

    With this we can suggest categories of jobs that may suit your preferences and abilities.
