Unemployment rate among ASD adults
I am still at college but I am already very scared of jobs. I fear I will end up underemployed. 1- I think I wouldn't be able to show the interviewers and employers how good I am, 2- I think it is going to be hard mostly because of anxiety and sensory overloading and social skills and executive function deficit. I am pretty sure they could think I am dumb or something like that when I don't understand the orders.
I am soo afraid. I don't even know what I should study at college. Currently I am studying law, but I don't know if lawyer would be a good fit, and international relations, to be a academic.

Trail lawyer would be scary (although the acting skills you learned trying to be NT should be helpful
