I’m a 21 year old male who has very mild autism. I would say socially I’m not always the best but am always willing to help customers. I work at Coles doing various things and the last 6-7 months has been mainly working by myself which I do like but the work itself is a massive overload. I just don’t know what to do and what else I’d even be interested in. I don’t fully believe in myself due to having autism and it makes me feel down sometimes.

I don't think I started to believe in myself at work until well into my 30s Lachlan. You've got heaps of time and you seem really self aware which is a great start. Don't be afraid to try different things and the stuff that you're good at will find you soon enough.

Hey mate, I also have very mild autism (and have ADHD). Don’t give up! The hardest part is finding out what you enjoy/want to do. The next part is finding a workplace that you feel confident comfortable in.
If you’re good with numbers (don’t have to be a genius) and want to help people, consider an advanced diploma of Paraplanning - minimal social interactions required.
If you’re not good with numbers, try to work out what you’re passionate about and then check out TAFE’s offerings.

Don't give up!!! I've been working for Coles for 24 years and finally made the move to walk out, I have to thank the stupid store manager for that. Retail is not easy. Hang in there... if not speak up, someone will listen, speak to your Line Manager, Store Support Manager or Store Manager. Every year I've been wanting to leave and pursue my dream job, now I'm out of job and am happy and ready to chase my dream job. Hospitality! Damn I need a drink!

Support work is really nice for autism, you may need to study at Tafe for 6-8 months or so but it helps

what was your dream job as a child? a lot of people with autism are highly intelligent people! please don’t see it as a bad thing. you got this Lachy! tune in and ask yourself what life you would want to live. it’s okay if you don’t know yet, give yourself some grace and time, you’ll find it if you keep looking (and don’t settle). <3
