That depends on your level of education and experience, the more experience and education you have the more freedom and flexibility you have regarding where you seek employment. If you entry level than unfortunately, you are not going to be able to be as picky. I would avoid customer service as much as possible but you are going to have to tolerate some things which are going to affect you negatively and find accommodations and coping mechanisms as best you can. I might be able to be more help with more background info in regards to your personality, what can trigger a meltdown in you etc. Remember, research is always your friend and your going to have to remember not to get discouraged easily because it may take some time and interviewing to find the right position for you.
Best of luck.

The work environment is also an important factor. It helps if you get to work by yourself at your own pace. For some Aspies, working in an industrial park may be better than the typical retail job. For others, there may not be one around, or transportation may be a problem.

If you enjoy strict rules, make strict rules your job. Get into accounting or auditing.
