I have no experience working in fast-food but I highly highly doubt that would be Asperger friendly due to needing to do multiple different tasks in a short time span if not having multiple things to keep track of at the same time like keeping track of cooking fries while taking orders, stress of rushing when busy, & talking to various customers in a short amount of time to name a few.
My first job was a dish-washer at IHOP & I bet dish-washing in a restaurant is generally more Asperger friendly than working in fast-food. Dish-washing has less customer interaction, is more routine, & has less tasks to keep track of at once.
My second & third job were retail doing custodial stuff while the stores were open. I had less customer interaction than the cashiers & stockers did & I was usually left alone by management more & not rushed as much as they were. Perhaps custodial stuff in non-retail like offices, hotels, & hospitals could be mangeable for you as well.
While my types of jobs are not super Asperger friendly, may only pay minimum-wage, & might not have benefits but not having qualifications, skills, experience, or network connections is a majorly limiting factor with employment even for non-disabled NTs. You need to start somewhere as the saying goes. Try applying for most any job you think you might could do & get to & try your best when you get hired. After being there a bit you could start applying for other jobs that you think might be a tad better for you. I really wish you the best of luck.
Thanks Nick. I appreciate it.
