    I get a lot of jobs that I interview for because I’m a solid 5/10. Then they get to know me and it makes them think I lied to them about my qualifications but no, they just equated average-to-medium looks with competence and neurotypicality

          Ugh can we swap? I’m so good at what I do, but the only jobs I ever get are when my credential speak for themselves so much that the interview is basically just ‘ok let me summarise the job duties; now let me know by Monday if you’ll take the job’. I’m not even ugly, just autistic and visibly queer.
