I don't believe autistics are specifically targeted for persecution in the United States.

However, most employers (bosses or HR people) who see somebody exhibit autistic symptoms during a job interview, will not hire the person---unless he/she is especially skilled in the job for which he/she is being interviewed.

Therefore, it can be said that autistic people are discriminated against in employment, even though the law bans such discrimination.

I don't think Autistic people are targeted for being autistic but people are uncomfortable around weird people.
