    I will never forget the time, when a company I applied to asked my brother if I bite or have random unexplainable violent meltdowns, once they noticed my autism. When he answered no, I was then subjected to a much harsher programming test (at the whiteboard, after he told them I had issues with my handwriting), also they concluded that the same pauses I have during speaking my native language is a proof that I don’t speak English, thus I cheated on the online tests which were in English, also the “body language course” they took told them my general lack of “signifiers of confidence” is a sign of lack of knowledge.
