seeking advice Job recommendations?
I'm 30 and I'm pretty sure I'm Autistic (although not formally diagnosed). I'm also introverted, severely depressed and very sensitive to noise. I'm also prone to migraines. I've worked customer service since I was 17 and every job I've ever had has made me miserable. Talking to people all day is exhausting and I've never been able to work more than part time. I've been unemployed for a few months now but I really need to earn a living, I just can't imagine doing another retail job or something like that where I have to pretend to be happy and peppy and social all day - or deal with customers, their children, music or noise. Please help? I'm at my wits end.

My advice would be, get evaluation and then get any job you want. Then they can hopefully accommodate?
I work in the worst of environments for autism (im a maintenance guy in a fast paced factory) but with my Diagnosis they made it work for me
Hope this helps!
