Our understanding of Autism has grown a lot in the last few years. There are a lot more people who fall under the umbrella of autism but who have been missed because they have learned how to camouflage or "mask" some of its traits. 

In this video I share some of my own personal experiences in masking my own autism (even from myself)

I made a flow chart that shows all of the things that I have to think about in order to "hide" my autism and appear "normal"

Autistics and neurotypicals often don't understand one another but that's not because autistic style is awkward, it's just a different culture

Many neurodivergents will tell you that getting a job is no easy task because you have to get judged on neurotypical communication styles even if they have absolutely nothing to do with job requirements. 

In consequence job interviewing tactics can often be very ableist and discriminate against qualified neurodivergent individuals.
