Barriers to Employment for Autistic Individuals

Conventional HR practices—especially

unstructured, face-to-face interviews—

frequently penalise autistic applicants.

Experimental evidence shows that when

recruiters view recorded interviews,

autistic candidates who are just as

qualified as neurotypical peers are rated

markedly less hireable because of atypical

eye contact, body language, and vocal

inflection.
