I have noticed this as well. It appears that people think customer service type jobs are generic and can be suitable for all personality types which is BS. There is no such job.
I'm an introverted lady living with ASD and GAD who is registered with a disability employment service. The suggested jobs the job developer provided were almost all customer service, because I have no experience and not much education.
The world is made for the confident, cheery, and charismatic extrovert. This was proven to me when I applied for a job in a machine shop deburring parts. It required no experience at all, but because I was quiet in the interview, the owner decided I wouldn't fit in with his team. I'm always quiet around strangers. Once I get to know people I open up. It just takes time. Some people cannot cope with quiet people.
Ruby2011, do you get obsessed with people? I've noticed that some people with ASD struggle with this and really suffer because of it. It is their 'special interest'.
