Is this legal?

So I'm applying for a job and the company using Arctic Shores assessment. One of the tasks is displaying faces and assigning emotions to them. Is this legal as surely this is direct discrimination against autistic applicants?

Maybe. Maybe not. We can't offer you legal advice but you should be aware of the law on indirect discrimination https://www.stammeringlaw.org.uk/disability-equality-law/discrimination/indirect-discrimination/ and resionable adjustments https://www.stammeringlaw.org.uk/disability-equality-law/discrimination/reasonable-adjustments/

This policy might fall fowl of either law but it could be justified depending on context.

Also in the event you wanted to pursue this legally you need to remember it would have to be through an employment tribuanal and as a general rule you'd have 3 months from the day you took the test to file the paperwork.
