McDonald's is one of the hardest jobs I could imagine.
The food service industry in general is very stressful.
I could never work in fast food myself as an autistic person.
It's too fast-paced with sensory overstimulation.
There's far too much social interaction too.
Finding an entry level job is good advice, but I question McDonald's as being suitable.
^^^ My sister would agree with this 100%
I would imagine a busy McDonalds (like the one my sister worked in) would raise excessive challenges. you need to constantly be busy and there are tasks like cleaning toilets or fry vats which were horribly gross. My sister said the shift manager was ex-marine and he himself said working in a busy fast food restaurant is like being in the army, She also had to put up with drunk men hitting on her, karens abusing her and the constant threat of physical violence from people not happy with their order. All for $10 per hour (early 1980s).
