'how employers identify and better support autistic staff already in their workforce'
Love that quote. My experience is that HR people actively weed out autistic candidates in order to exclude them from the workplace or progressing further in a job application.
I'm thinking in particular of an interview I had at the Barclays Bank computer centre, where I was qualified to do the job and I passed all the aptitude tests with flying colours, we started with over 100 candidates, then 30 after lunch, finally just ten of us were left. Finally we had a personnel interview with HR, the recruitment manager warned us that we had to pass this personnel interview. At this interview I was asked very informally about how I spent my spare time etc. Naturally I failed the interview.
