I currently work in a stockroom because I am exceptionally well at remembering numbers and codes and don't require a calculator in rare occasions. Along with this I have good organizational skills. In your opinion where would be a good job for someone like me or Asperger in general

It depends on your personality. I know people who are somewhere on the spectrum who would do excellent at teaching kindergarten or having a high energy and high excitement job and others who would do much better working at a computer in a cubicle all day.

I don't know a lot about careers (look in the Work forum), but a possible career that you might want to consider is accounting. It is a lot of work with numbers and filling out detailed forms that many people frown upon.

Some people with AS would get bored doing such work and need something that is exciting going on. Since I'm more like this, then I *shouldn't* be an accountant... (not to mention the plethora of other reasons why I shouldn't...)

I used to be a police dispatcher and at first I couldn't understand what people were saying over the radio, but eventually I got really good at it. And I loved the high-stress levels. A lot of people can't handle the stress, but I loved the rush.
