Since ca. 2010, the proliferation of tests requiring social skills (such as behavioral interview questions) created yet another obstacle on the path to employment for autistic people. In addition, knowledge of autism among business leaders and employers in general is evolving, and strongly influences employability. [61]
The Questions About Behavior Function (QABF) measure is a widely used indirect assessment tool designed to assist mental health practitioners in assessing the function of maladaptive behaviors in individuals diagnosed with a developmental disability.
The informant interview is to be conducted if further information about the patient's function is required (i.e. cognitive test score 5 to 8). It consists of six questions which can be answered with “yes” (=impairment), “no” (=no impairment), “don’t know” or “N/A”. Each question is worth one point.
Targeted behavioral interview questions allow a hiring manager to test if a candidate has a specific soft skill or hard skill necessary for that job by asking them to look back on their career and ...
The interview was also found to have adequate reliability across time. Research comparing ADI-R results of autistic children and children with other developmental disorders suggested that individual questions on the interview were slightly more valid when discriminating autism from intellectual disability than the algorithm as a whole.
The claimant's mental state will to a large degree become apparent as the interview progresses, but specific questions might be asked in order to elucidate any disordered thinking, abnormalities of perception or cognitive impairment. If assessors are unsure how to apply the test's criteria in specific cases, telephone advice is available.

For example, the medical classification of 'retarded' has since been disregarded, due to its negative implications.

"Hand grocery or other receipts to the individual who is paying the bill." "Only ask questions about the person's disability if you know that person."
