My Options

Post Reply New Topic

Hey! My name is Cassidy. I'm 18. I have Asperger's. Just graduated high school. I just want to know what are some job or college options for people with AS that can't drive and are not very independent?

Well, the not driving suggests a larger city, since they usually have better public transit than smaller towns.

If you're not very independent, you should definitely look at smaller colleges instead of large universities.

As for job or career, the best thing you can do is try to match your special interests, if you have them, to a career.

I know that's all pretty general advice, but you didn't give us much to work with either.

I'm about to start back uni wednesday and I live 60miles from it! pretty much motorway from door to door though. I think any science or techy degree is a good choice for aspies. Lots to learn, lots of areas to specialize in and its not all that social of a class, unlike many others, whose idea of "full time" is actually 9 hours of classes a week, the rest is drinking.

Probably a job that's not that often considered is warehousing. I used to work in the EU's largest warehouse (was back then anyway). The place was the size of 10 football fields and 4 floors high and was filled with endless rows of stuff, looks like a giant maze inside so it was very uncommon for me to ever bump into anyone in an entire shift. Not a job I would consider long term though, involves 20miles of walking a day.
