The Top Worst Jobs for Autistic Adults
Autistic adults often struggle in jobs with demanding social interaction, inflexibility, sensory overload, and unclear expectations. Examples include customer service, food service, retail, teaching, nursing, call centers, open offices, and metric-driven roles. However, with appropriate accommodations and work environments that cater to their strengths, such as attention to detail and focus, autistic adults can thrive in positions like accounting, data analysis, and technical writing. It’s essential to choose workplaces that understand and support their unique needs for a rewarding career.
