What are some high-paying jobs for people with social anxiety, adhd, and asd? Tbh I just want a job where I can be alone in peace and not have to interact with others. Any good suggestions? I have a college degree btw (in a stem field)

I'd start looking at remote job listings.

You'll still have to interact with others, but it would be much less than a non-remote job.

If you're not afraid of heights, wind turbine technician or radio tower climber are really cool jobs.
You also don't interact with people a whole lot. Cuz you mostly work alone. The only interaction you'll probably have is when you receive calls/texts from the dispatcher and she tells you where to go. Also, it's not the same for everyone, but when I'm doing manual work, my ADHD feels less like an issue.

As Greyscale and Eudaimonic said, a remote programming job could be a really great idea.

You could also become a train driver cuz it's funny.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty clumsy and my hand-eye coordination isn't very good, so manual jobs are out of the picture for me. I'm thinking about a remote programming job tho, the issue is knowing what exactly to learn for it tho (like languages and stuff)

I was actually thinking about this! I've always wanted to break into tech and be a programmer but I'm not exactly sure how to get started bc there's no clear path. Someone on here suggested I learn programming by myself with free online resources but I'm not sure what exactly to learn….there's just so many kinds of programmers who all do a different kind of programming

Try hands on Python and see some suggestions on LinkedIn for a remote job, it would take some time, but believe in yourself, I wish you the best.

Harvard's computer science course, CS50 is, I think, a good place to start. It's free on edX and YouTube. Then learn a little more about the different fields of programming (web development, data science, etc.) and when you decide on one, look for corresponding developer roadmaps online that can lead you to the relevant courses and tutorials.
