As a guy with Asperger syndrome, if I can't do a job in retail, am I screwed for life?

That depends on what is a good work-life balance for you. Do you work better in a fast-paced environment like fast-food restaurants and retail? Or do you like a more slow-paced environment like a therapist or something where you can take your time and prepare for the next meeting?

It depends on the type of person you are and what do you excel in. If you don't have any work experience, just do it, and if you fail, then take it as a learning experience and move on to the next thing.

They stopped using aspergers as a diagnosis. You would just say you are autistic now. It depends on where you fall on the spectrum and where you live but you can try to qualify for public aid if it prevents you from working.

Well, no; you just need to find a job in another field.
