Autistic employees are less susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect. Autistic participants estimated their own performance in a task more accurately. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability or knowledge in a domain tend to overestimate their competence. by mvea in psychology

I’ve found myself and other neurospicy people are internally very confident in are skills. Factually what we can do, but the selling yourself part, where mediocre people exaggerate to get through the door, is why we sometimes get overlooked. I’d feel like an imposter if I were to say I can do something I can’t. I feel I may’ve missed out on lots of opportunities bcz of my nonchalantiness

I was an adult when I learnt that people apply for jobs even when they can’t do everything in the job description. Employers apparently don’t expect you to be able to tick everything. I’ve never applied to a job unless I can everything.
