Why? I think those are types of things many Aspies would be best at.

Retail. I want to do retail but the customers know I take s**t from anybody, just by looking at my socially confused face.

I don't tend to give off negative vibes to colleagues, but customers seem to see it a mile off.

Working in a call center.


I actually am working in a call center right now. It is not as bad as you think it is. There are call flows, and since I am doing tech support, I am always looking forward to an interesting problem with every call. (And none of the people who call me can see my plushies and thus call me immature ;) ) So far, the only thing I hate about the job is the loud cafeteria and almost incomprehensibly thick Swiss accents.

I however think that being an artist would be bad for aspies. I mean, art is all about metaphors for something. An aspie would probably paint a dog because s/he likes dogs not because there is a hidden, deep meaning in it.
