Personally, I'm concentrating on getting through my Open Degree at the OU, which I won't be done with for another 4 years (assuming I don't have to redo any modules during it). After that, I'm not sure on.
You see, being autistic, even a high functioning one where it's barely noticeable, carries that stigma that would make getting a job with anyone damn impossible. They see it as a liability not worth risking. And it's not like I can avoid telling people this if I want to work for them, you have to tell them in case something happens and they need to cover their ass. The only time I managed to get away with not telling people was when I had to do volunteer work as part of a course.
At best, I would probably have to do freelancer work if I wanted to earn a living, and freelancer work can be a fickle thing at times from what I understand.
