4. Reference Librarian/Re-shelving library books
Median Annual Wage: $57,680
Working in a library can be a very fulfilling job for adults with Asperger’s or high-functioning autism. The job of reference librarian, that ranks 4th on our list of best jobs for adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger’s syndrome, includes helping library users find appropriate books, resources and to catalog books from the entire library. This requires knowledge in a variety of subjects and communication with people as well. However, this type of communication doesn’t necessarily have to create stress since it is mostly based on topics which are familiar and within your job description. Library science has more options for individuals with Asperger’s or high-functioning autism and one of them is re-shelving library books. This is a good choice for non-verbal individuals or those who simply prefer avoiding jobs that require a lot of communication with other people. Once again, above-average working memory comes into focus as individuals with Asperger’s or high-functioning autism can easily memorize shelf locations and numbering systems.
