I would first figure out what you're good at before creating a business. What do you like?

I always recommend security. I do it myself.

IMO Security is for guys who want to wear a Uniform but are too unfit to pass the rigid fitness tests to get into the Coppers.

Look at that bloke who plays the Security guard in Trollied? Played by the guy who was Jack Boswell in Bread!

You know the easiest thing to do is learn how to code. There are more websites than ever putting out that kind of content and if you get good at it, it's very possible to command a decent salary and work from home.

Also, a lot of the time, if you do have to work in an office, you are pretty much left alone in your cubicle to do work. At least, that's been my experience so far.

Try to figure out what makes you different than Neurotypicals and try to let that lead you.

One of the hardest things with starting a business is differentiation as most people launch businesses into crowded spaces in the hope that it will work (it won't).

By being neurologically different you have a unique perspective that can work for you, just make sure you can get passionate about whatever you choose to do.

You can always start and change course as you go. Most successful entrepreneurs fail or change course multiple times before becoming successful.

I started an IT support business before getting into web design and now specialise in Inbound Marketing for training organisations. I've worked with loads of start ups.



Today's business is mostly about specialisation and deep customer relationships rather that the sell everything to everyone strategy.

My Aspi super powers (obsessions) are business strategy, marketing strategy, and information technology.

Back in the old days they manifested as video games and taking electronic stuff apart.

You also need to move mind set from consumer to value producer (harder than it seems as we are conditioned to consume).
