I'm filling out an application for Walgreen's and at the end of the application there is a section where it asks do you have any of these disabilities one of them is autism should I put a check mark in that box or will it hurt my chances of getting that job ?

Do you think it will affect your ability to do the job you are applying for? If the answer is no then don't check it. It's no ones business.

If its not going to affect your ability to perform job duties, absolutely check it.

1) business get a tax write off for hiring developmentally disabled workers

2) its against the law to discriminate against a disability if it doesnt affect job performance

3) how severe on the spectrum are you? Will you be subjected to triggers that would make it an unpleasant work environment?

If not, no reason to hide it. Autism is a diverse disability, and in many cases those affected excell at certain things while being hindered by others.

Wait one mother fucking minute ! Asshole Wallgreens has questions on their applications asking if the applicant has Autism? That dont seem right bro , if i were you i'd contact my local EEOC & find out if its even legal for an employer to ask that of you .

Medical questions on apps are supposed to be generalized in nature such as " Do you have any health issues that would prevent you from doing this job safely & as required " or " are you on any weight or lifting restrictions from a doctor " not do you have MS or Autism .

Fuk wallgreens , they sell 2nd rate meds anyways .

Tell the hiring manager you have a gun too and if you're not immediately hired at a premium wage and with full benefits you're gonna ventilate his shirt. JK

Just check yes and if you see it's holding you back don't check it in the future at other companies.
