Hello! I'm also looking for something like this and found this free online test for professional orientation, I did it and recognised some possible professions that I hadn't thought of myself and that can give some direction for me. Some of the results I have my doubts about though, but maybe it's worth trying. I'm also not going to get the full report, but the sample was already quite extensive:

Professional orientation test

But it's not really made for Aspies...
