Well, be realistic about it. If you think you lack social skills up to a level where it's beyond functional, accept that such jobs wont get you far. By all means, if you want to have a go, do so; but take in consideration that an employer might not have a lot of patience.
As much as I want to believe that you have a lot of issues going on, they might also be slightly exaggerated. Poor memory? How poor? My dad has poor memory and he had a stroke years ago. I'm not saying I'm discrediting you, but an assessment on ones own ability when it comes to disability, in my experience is often a bit exaggerated/inflated.
It's great you want to be a productive member of society, but also here; if it's not a realistic prospect, I'd set other goals.
You already have 2 ideas of what you might be interested in. That should give you some idea and maybe look around online, maybe even ask online (since that often is a lower barrier to gather information) how one goes about this. I can totally see how accounting is a decent job for an aspie if one likes something solitary; but yes, you're right, it would require training. If you're worried about the programme you'd have to go through, maybe there's a lower level entry programme for that? From having spent too much time looking at college and university in my country I know there are different levels. The trick is not to aim higher than you can, but to find what level is just about right for your ability.
Embalmer; I suppose that means working in a morgue? Yeah, I can get into that, but that depends on where you live, since I know morgues here aren't that liberally sprinkled over the place; and the one that is, is part of a hospital, which requires at least a handful of qualifications (which also means that qualifications obtained through education always include an internship this side of the globe).
But it's good to think about things you would like to do. The next step is to gather information how one goes about acquiring such jobs, beyond networking, since skills are clearly part of it as well.

I knew a fellow who was an embalmer. Really nice guy, quiet, but, when I asked him about his work, he made it sound quiet with job security.
Now, I'm not trying to turn you away from accounting, because that was my chosen field for awhile. I did like the work, once you learn the rules, it's good solid work that's just stimulating but not over stressful.
BUT, I would be aware of the types of accounting jobs available in your desired area. If a company has one or two accountants, I'd say it would be great for you. But, the place where I did my temping a couple years in high school was a newspaper and had an open plan room full of accountants, all but one of them women (I mention the gender, because women do tend to have higher pitched voices and giggle more, and it sets off my sensory issues). Now, the hospital I worked at once I was finished with college, the accounting department all had offices, so the noise wasn't an issue, and there were enough speciality roles there that everyone could focus on what they liked.
I don't want to deter you, just get a lay of the environment when interviewing.
