I did before I left that comment. I just wanted to make sure you knew that community existed since this meme really has nothing to do with ADHD and everything to do with autism, and you posted it in the ADHD community.

Everyone needs to go through that shit at least once... if you're lucky you can lean on your network of former co-workers to provide references that let you just be open "I suck at interviewing" from that point onward. I hope you eventually achieve this blissful state because I too cannot maintain eye contact for more than half a second.

Oh yeah because us autistic people are WELL KNOWN for our networking skills...

"None of this has anything to do with your ability to perform the desired task" is the major flaw in this. Social interaction is a pretty huge part of any job where you work with people, and so-called "chemistry matches" are often rated as the top thing teams are looking for. This is why so many hiring managers will bring in other team members into interviews.

Edit: just because you don't like this fact doesn't make it less true. People want to work with other people that they don't want to strangle.
