What are some good jobs for a person with autism?

What's something I can do with the least amount of social interaction and with only a high school diploma?

Nightshift at a supermarket.

Programming - if that suits you.

Woodworking - making desks and other furniture - might be up your alley provided you can find someone to learn from and are patient enough and willing to put work in. It will take longer than you think to learn, though, at least to the level of mastery. You could conceivably have your own shop or otherwise work under someone who is willing to handle contracts and people. There will not be no contact but it will be minimal.

just trying to think outside the box :)

You can watch porn. You can also play videogames whilst crying.

I can tell you THE WORST:

Sales
Teaching
Sales again

(Anything that requires lying and telling stories to people generally don't end up well)...

I usetoo be a cashier in past n have autism too ,i liked my job even tho i got upset at times so maybe you'll like it too idk

Every job requires social interaction. The less education/skills you have, the more you'll need to make up for it.

Are you more comfortable conversing with a small, consistent team of people every day? Or dealing with strangers/large teams who come and go? Do you need a "script" to work off of or do you feel confident talking freely about what you know?

Depending on your answers, different jobs could be better.

Also note any shift at retail is not at all low social interaction. Night shift is constant coordinating with small teams of the same people. During the slow season, you'll be stuck making conversation with everyone (sometimes with your direct boss) until your shift ends. My coworkers who talk with us the least are the people at the customer complaints desk. At night there's like nobody, and usually they are millennials with kids who just want to get their refunds and go home without causing a scene. On the other hand, the customers who come in during the mornings/afternoon are hell spawns and only the most social, friendly workers work that shift.

I'd like to know as well, because by now it just seems like I'll spend the rest of my life living with my parents and wasting time until I die

I'm searching too, seems like most/all jobs need good social skills.

 

[who doesn't matter]

You could try being a content writer. I am a writer myself and there is absolutely no social interaction in this job. The only kind of interaction you have is with your superiors/boss when they hand you down the work. Then it's all you and your computer. You can try becoming a freelancer as well.

I find out that jobs with team and boss above head you spend with are doomed to failure.
Currently im a vip driver for rich people, see them max few hours with little small talk and job is done. Best job i ever had.
