As an Aspie, should I be applying for customer facing customer service roles?

Most important things you need to sell;

Enthusiasm and the absolute belief that what you are selling is the best thing the customer could possibly buy (I believe that if it's not the best they could buy you shouldn't be selling it to them.)

Selling is a transfer of enthusiasm from one person to another.

I'm incapable of selling anything I wouldn't buy myself. What are you like in this respect, @Rich Allen ?

This might sound too obvious or simplistic, but i would suggest a couple basic things such as.

Sorting through the Bureau of labor Statistics Handbook which can be found in its entirety online.
This will not only give you nearly every type of job that exists, but it also will tell you how many people are working at each job and its growth rate. You will them be able to know how much competition there is, and assess your probability for success. It also provides education and experience needed and salary.

Also, a career counselor might be able to give you a Myers- Briggs career assessment which ranks careers in order based on your interests. There are also aptitude assessments.
These might be worth your while.

None of that is relevant tn Sheffield, England but thanks anyway.

Smh, why do people on here not realise that unlike the majority of the members on here I am NOT from North America or Canada?

There is a bureau of labour statistics in the UK, too.
And Meyers- Briggs assessments aren't limited by nationality.

What actually is relevant is whether you have the personality and
skills to effectively interact with customers.
