In the US it's illegal for any employee to flat out refuse to hire people with Asperger's syndrome under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Just something to keep in mind before you answer the question in the title!




So therefore, "it wasn't a cultural fit" or "he didn't have enough experience" or "he wasn't an A player"...


Unfortunately yes. I don't see how you enforce anti-descrimination laws if the relevant descrimination takes place entirely in the hiring manager's head.
