There is one more hidden bias, which (IMHO) have much stronger impact for aspies - application forms and grant proposals.
Even though officially it's all about merits of accomplishments and ideas, almost always there is an expectation to deliver it in a form of "sales pitch". So, any honest and straightforward presentation is unlikely to stand a chance with one full of "soft bullshit" (e.g. promises to cure cancer, create universal quantum computer, etc).

I don't remember all the specifics and I've lost most of the references since then, but I've read some research on this, and regardless if you are a victim or accused for a crime, if you have ASD you are at a massive disadvantage. One example: Research appear to show that while people with ASD commit violent crimes at about the same rate as the general population, they are incarcerated at a much higher rate. I've seen numbers between 2 to 4 times the incarnation rate.
