What entry-level work asks
Most workplaces run on unwritten rules: small talk before meetings, hedged language, indirect feedback, expected eye contact, lunch politics. Autistic adults can learn these. They are also allowed not to want to. AI can help you decode them so the choice is informed.
Job-search use cases
- Resume rewrites that translate skills into recruiter language
- Cover letter drafts with three tone options
- Mock interview prep with likely follow-up questions
- Decoding job descriptions: which requirements are real and which are wishlist
- Drafting disclosure language if you choose to disclose
Onboarding survival
The first 90 days are mostly information overload. Use AI to summarize long onboarding docs, draft introductory emails, and prepare a question list before each one-on-one. Reduce the cognitive load so you have energy for the actual work.
Key terms in this lesson
Key takeaway: workplaces have rules. You get to choose which to learn, follow, or push back on. AI is a translator, not a coach for masking.
