Hi
I'm new to this forum.
I have been having a discussion with a colleague about whether interview questions for a new job should be given to autistic individuals in advance on an interview AND also given to neuro-typical candidates?
I think that they should only be given to autistic candidates and not the neuro-typical candidates; as this is a reasonable adjustment that levels the playing field for the autistic candidate.
My colleague says he understands this point of view but feels it is the fairer approach to give it to both candidates .. and removes an allegation of unfairness from the neuro-typical candidate.
Would really welcome your thoughts as I want to raise with my HR team at work.
Thanks.
I see no reason why they shouldn't be given to both. The individual can decide whether they need them or not.
