The trick to trades is not minding that it hurts. If you have no interest in enduring pain and discomfort a trade isn't for you. Not that every job is hellish, but you can't tap out. If someone asks you to climb a 20 foot ladder in -30 weather, you have to do it.

but it's hard to know till you've tried. Trade usually involves interacting with people, and people with ASD might have particular problems with that, but as ASD is a spectrum disorder, you might have a particular struggle with people things and you might not.
Not sure what you mean? in my experience people go to it exactly because they don't want to exercise their social skills.
Lots of NTs hate customers service and would rather work a job where they don't have to talk to people. Not because they're introverts but simply because they like work to be work.
I'm not saying it's an easy social environment, you're routinely around people who have poor social skills, people who are violent etc. You have to know to keep your mouth shut and keep your head down and work hard.
If you work hard people will always leave you alone. If for no other reason than it gives them room to slack.
