As the article points out, we think we are making rational decisions, when in fact we are heavily influenced by subconscious biases. In particular, we favor people we like. That gives an edge to candidates that are friendly and attractive.
Since I am an introvert and on the autistic spectrum, traditional interviews are an uphill battle. Even reasonable ones like you describe.

A lot of employers are looking to hire more than just a silent machine that takes Jira tickets as input and outputs code to git, but people tend to hire other people who are similar to them in culture, behavior and personality (humans gonna human, tribal mentality is still deep in us) hence the semi-bullshit "culture fit". Any kind of disability, especially the non-physical ones, are gonna work against you in most job interviews.
