I was diagnosed pretty young with Autism, so sure, I have some of the typical issues like: seeming a little off sometimes, not having certain social cues be just Neurotypical right, and/or just being socially awkward sometimes. My mom was forced to advocate for my needs in Special Education, while I was pretty young because otherwise I might not have learned how to talk and/or had issues with reading and/or writing.
I still have a lot of issues with spelling by default through.
I actually have some more issues with employers due to having Epilepsy that started as an adult: (as I've been demoted once due to no longer being medically able to work a particular shift with Walgreens, been offered demotion as Accommadition with Walmart, and been asked if I could do a warehouse position at all once (yes, as an Autistic/Epileptic small woman, I could - I just had to be smart and sneaky with taking my meds while on shift).
However, I often just have to try my best and remind myself that most people are idiots about things like Autism. I try not to overthink it but use their ignorance to my advantage if anything.
