Hi! I'm pretty new here, but would like advice for something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I've been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was very young, but still struggle to understand myself and the world around me sometimes. I want to eventually get a job that I can excel in and that makes a steady income, but I don't quite know what that would be.
When people talk about good jobs for Aspies, I notice it's usually something to do with computers. However, I have very few computer skills aside from the basics (Microsoft, Google, etc), so that's not a great option for me. Another problem I have that seems to be common with Aspies is that I have a hard time working with people, especially when I'm expected to approach them directly or deal with them during potentially emotional or stressful situations.
I'm currently studying Biology because it seems like a field of study that's somewhat practical, and it's a subject I'm decent in. But, I know it's not my true passion. The one thing I do really enjoy is writing, particularly fiction, but I know that's not exactly a career that can be counted on to make money. Any suggestions for possible careers?
