First impressions play a crucial role in how individuals are perceived, often leading to quick judgments about competence and likability based solely on superficial cues. This presents a unique challenge for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), whose social behaviors may not align with neurotypical expectations. During job interviews, these candidates often perform poorly despite being highly qualified, suffering from strong biases that arise from misunderstandings of their behavior. This dynamic can create significant barriers to employment and social inclusion for people with ASD.
First impressions create barriers for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, affecting their perception in social and professional settings.
