Always tell your future employer everything,
That is probably the reason why you did not get that Job.
And by the way if I was employing you and you had not told me about your diagnosis and I ever found out. You would be fired on the spot no buts...
And that is due to the fact that by not telling them you're an Aspie you are being dishonest from the start. And trust me no employer will ever wanna hire a dishonest person.
I have PKAN and I told my boss that when I was applying for my first ever Job and that made him tell my co-workers take extra care around me.
So being honest about your diagnosis is absolutely important

I had an internship this tax season at a large national firm and got great reviews on my work. However, I was shocked when I did not receive a job offer at my exit interview. While they did not give me a reason why, I am led to believe it was due to my lack of social skills. I did not disclose my autism/Aspergers because I felt comfortable enough at work and was doing well on all my tasks. Throughout the internship, I never received any negative feedback.

I am starting my Master of Tax Accounting in the fall and am looking for a job starting next fall. I have a 4.0, an above-average resume, and will have passed the CPA exam by the end of the summer. As I go through this last school year still recruiting with big 4, regional, and local firms, what advice do you have for advancing in the recruitment process despite not being the best in social situations? And in a job interview, would you recommend disclosing my strengths and weaknesses (without using the autism label) so they know what kind of employee I will be?
