This could basically be a checklist to determine “is this person not autistic”?
When are we going to reckon with the fact that job interviews are designed to keep the neurodiverse out?

Is this like an inverted checklist or something? I don’t think anybody, autistic or not, would be able to actually satisfy all of this.
It’s not about being able to satisfy all of it — virtually every item on the list are NT communication norms that autistic people typically do not satisfy. Much of it is entirely subjective. Like “Responses are communicated in a sincere and honest manner” — for some reason allistic people, who stereotypically love lying and do so constantly, seem to think autistic people have insincere and dishonest vibes.
There’s been a bunch of studies done about how NT people make snap judgements that put autistic people in the “creepy and weird” category. No matter how hard we mask, we fail those secret vibe checks. This whole checklist is full of items like that.
