∙ 10y agoPeople with Aspergers can work in any type of job. However, some jobs might be easier than others, depending on the individual person. It is good if employment for someone with AS is in a job connected with what it is that they are interested in. Normally someone with AS has an interest (having obsessive interests are one of the major signs of AS).
Focus your efforts on companies like Walgreens (they have an amazing program that hires individuals with Autism to work in their distribution centres) and the Texas-based nonPareil Institute as these are the organizations that are paving the way for individuals on the Autism Spectrum to become part of our workforce.

Technology has been tossed around as an idea; Dr. Temple Grandin is famous for her improvements in the fields of animal studies, and Daniel Tammet is known for his ways with both numbers and languages. Also, Stephen Yorkshire is awesomely skilled at flying over cities for a short time, and drawing them in immense detail. Basically, if you let an autistic pursue a topic in which they have extreme interest, the heavens themselves are the limit.

Some autistic people may have restrictions on what they can cope with, for example some autistic people may struggle in face-to-face customer service jobs where being social is part of the job, but everyone is different so can cope differently.

Did Steve Jobs have aspergers?
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Steve Jobs had Asperger's syndrome. While he displayed characteristics that some may associate with the condition, it is not appropriate to diagnose someone posthumously without proper evaluation.

How do you make friends when you have Aspergers Syndrome?
While it can be more challenging to make friends when you have Aspergers Syndrome, I believe there is still good reason to have hope. Society as a whole is becoming increasingly aware of Aspergers and Autism and more accepting of people who are on the Autism Spectrum. Take for example, the TV show, The Big Bang Theory. While it is never actually stated, I highly suspect that Sheldon's character is based on an individual who has Aspergers, and he is certainly an endearing fellow who has a close-knit group of friends whom he can count on. There are plenty of examples in real life as well of people who have Aspergers Syndrome who are living full, productive lives, have jobs, friends and many other accomplishments to their credit. Don't put too much pressure on yourself , striving for the hundreds or even thousands of so-called "friends" that a lot of young people have on their social media pages. Many would question how real any of these friendships really are. Start with one person and go from there. When approaching a person in your efforts to begin a friendship, I have read about many success stories that involve individuals with Autism taking a very forthright approach, telling people from the start about their condition. Explain to people whom you are interested in getting to know better that you have Aspergers and tell them what it's all about. Explain that it is sometimes difficult for you to read body language. Ask them if they'd mind giving you tips and advice from time to time in conversation to help you work on these skills. If sometime is not receptive to this, chances are that you don't really want him or her as a friend anyways! As the parent of an individual who has Autism, I know that I cannot truly understand and appreciate the challenges that you face as a person with Aspergers, but hope that of my suggestions can be of some help to you.

What are the jobs that Temple Grandin recommends for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome?
Temple Grandin, a person with high-functioning autism, wrote a letter suggesting some poor job possibilities and good possibilities for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome entitled "Choosing the Right Job for People with Autism or Asperger's Syndrome" for which two links are provided in the Related Links section below. Grandin's list serves as a good guideline for job possibilities and considerations. She suggests avoiding jobs that put significant demands on short-term working memory because that is a limitation for people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. She advises choosing jobs that make use of the excellent long-term memory that they have.She divides jobs into four categories with her reasoning for why the job is either a good choice or a bad one. I have included one or two examples each from these categories, with additional comments based on posts to autism and Asperger's Syndrome forums that discussed her list. For the full list of over 30 recommended jobs, access the link below. Her examples and reasoning about them can help you evaluate other job possibilities, too.Bad Jobs:* Air traffic controller -- Information overload and stressShe also lists cashier as a bad choice because of the short-term memory requirement, but some people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome disagree about cashier being a bad choice, since cash registers do the calculations for making change, now. However, they do say that it could be a problem if you must interact with too many people.Good Jobs for Visual Thinkers:* Computer programming -- Wide-open field with many jobs available especially in industrial automation, software design, business computers, communications and network systems* Equipment designing -- Many industries, often a person starts as a draftsman and then moves into designing factory equipmentMost people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, and the people who know them, believe that computer programming and other computer-related or Internet-related jobs are good choices. Grandin views herself as a visual thinker, so the jobs she lists in this category are probably ones she could more easily visualize herself performing successfully.Good Jobs for Non-Visual Thinkers: * Accounting -- Get very good in a specialized field such as income taxesFor jobs in this category, she is focusing on people who are good at math or facts. She also suggests that computer programming can be a good job for non-visual thinkers. Good Jobs for Non-Verbal or Low-Verbal People: * Restocking shelves -- In many types of storesOne complaint in the forums I read concerning this fourth category was that these are primarily minimum wage, but as many others pointed out, there are not as many employment options for non-verbal and low-verbal people. However, one of the choices she mentions is data entry, which can be a higher-paying job, especially if the person can perform it in specialized fields, such as medical insurance coding.The list of job possibilities for people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome should not be limited to the ones Grandin suggests, but many people with autism or Asperger's Syndrome or who have family members with those conditions think it is relatively accurate and would be useful for considering jobs for adults with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Since each person with autism or Asperger's Syndrome has different levels of strengths and weaknesses, a job that would work for one might be too stressful for another. Also, consider the special interests of the person and how they might be used in a job.
