We sit in the uncanny valley where our movements and demeanors are a bit off, and this is a natural reaction. However, once a person becomes acquainted with our mannerisms, and what they mean, they tend to be a bit more at ease. Look into groups like Hire Autism and they can articulate the advantages and challenges of having autistic employees. | |

I'd very much appreciate being informed of autism/asbergers because then I can evaluate the person in that light. I mean, not making eye contact (or trying to hard to make it!) is really not that big a deal - but it does seem a bit creepy and can put an eerie "feeling" about a canditate. If there is a reason for it, that feeling can be safely ignored. But I can understand that it is a two edged sword, damn if you do and damned if you don't situation. | |
