Namjoons naughty neurons :
You can also buy yourself 10-20 seconds by going "Hmmmn" and repeating the question thoughtfully and looking contemplative. 🤷♀️

I actually started letting people know in the beginning that I am autistic and might take interviews more serious, but that for the job I’m more loose and bubbly. It worked for the last interview I did

Depending on your field of expertise, there absolutely will be lists of the top X or so questions online. Or just general stuff like " tell us about yourself and your experience so far". Have a folder with your documents and within that is a list with these questions and the answers that you prepared ahead of time as bullet points to use. Prepare questions for the company as well, show interest in them. Hell, there is so much you can and should do before the actual interview, it's insane.

That's good advice thank you. Do you have any tips on good jobs for autistic people who can't mask very effectively and also have chronic pain issues so can't be too physically demanding?

you can tell them you need a minute to think, no one has ever told anything

Yes! As someone who’s ND, I’ve always done my best when I’ve paused, taken a drink of water (sometimes made notes) and then answered. I even got feedback once saying “we could tell you were sometimes stumped by some of the questions but you stopped to think about it and it and were the only candidate to give sensible answers”. I ended up conducting a lot of job interviews in my old job and it’s the number one tip/feedback I’d give to anyone. We wanted people to do well, it was okay to say to us “that’s an interesting question, I’m going to take a moment to think about that” :)
