Autism spectrum and Artistic ability?

If you aren't a people person it's not a good idea to think about a career in art. It's extremely difficult anyway and to make any money you need to get into one of the top art schools. Ie goldsmiths or st martins.
I've literally just completed my bachelor's in fine art.

If you aren't a people person it's not a good idea to think about a career in art.
On what basis? Is writing not art? That is pretty much a solitary activity. Painting a canvas is not a collaborative effort.

A good manager/people person will firewall unwanted human access.

He asked about painting and drawing lol.
To get a manager? (It would be pr and even then you'd have to promote yourself)
Painting or whatever art form you decide to do is the fun part. Try watching what do artists do all day and watch Tracey Emin. She is lucky to do an hour at most of painting a week sometimes. You do actually need to sell the work, it doesn't sell itself.
Before doing any of this you need to get a degree and speak in front of 20+ people many times.

But there are jobs in computer graphics that do not require interpersonal contact. Are they not careers in art?

How about a career in bookcover art? A good cover will practically sell itself. Attach oneself to a best-selling author, it's raining silver.

Bookcover art? Do you mean an illustrator? Again, it involves a lot of selling yourself to the publisher. The world of illustration is possibly more saturated than that of the fine artist.
Graphic design is something I'm not that knowledgeable of as I did a fine art degree but again most companies (because it's very competitive) will want a person with a good degree and portfolio. You still need to sell yourself.
It would be lovely if as an artist you could camp away reclusively never doing shows and the work just selling miraculously but it doesn't work like that.

Means, motive and opportunity. Deprived of any one of the three, even the best men and women with innate talent will find themselves unrealized.

You seem to have all three.

I agree...

"How about a career in bookcover art? A good cover will practically sell itself. Attach oneself to a best-selling author, it's raining silver."

I like bookcover art. But the job still requires some interpersonal contact. You have to answer to the art director and give them what they want, which means having the ability to handle criticism and make changes to the work when necessary.

A person can have the best portfolio in the world, but this counts for little unless they also have the ability to "sell themselves". Even for the most self-confident go-getter personality, it can still be a struggle.
