I desperately want a job, but ever since I was a teenager, I've felt crippled by my Asperger's, and all I've ever been told is what I can't do because of it. As a result, I have no work experience. So now I'm asking you all: what is a good first job for someone with Asperger's?
My first job was in an accounting office where my Grandma worked. I did a lot of grunt work no one else wanted... Putting papers back in filing cabinets, shredding documents etc.
I'd also do temp work at the store my mom worked... Doing inventory twice a year. Quiet and working by myself, it was great.
Being a dishwasher was actually pretty good. I worked by myself. Though kitchens can be noisy, I worked in a small restaurant, so I could deal with it (later worked at a Cracker Barrel and the kitchen was WAY too noisy. Good training though and lots of rules, so I liked it okay otherwise.
