海报摘要
- Job interviews are an integral component of the hiring process in most fields. Our research examines job interview performance of those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to neurotypical (NT) individuals. ASD and NT individuals were taped engaging in mock job interviews. In our first study, candidates were rated on several dimensions by respondents who either watched the interview videos or read interview transcripts. In both conditions they were naive to the neurodiversity of the candidates. NT candidates outperformed ASD candidates in the video condition, but in the absence of visual and social cues (transcript condition), individuals with ASD outperformed NT candidates. These findings suggest that it is style, rather than substance, that impedes success for ASD candidates in job interviews. In a second study, we demonstrate that the biases against ASD candidates in the job interview process can be reduced with both neurodiversity training for evaluators and diagnosis disclosure.
