Parents of Autistic children also find themselves discriminated against in the workplace. Why? Because their kids take so much more time than regular kids. My own wife has already been discriminated against for taking vacation time “too often”, even though she is owed it by her employer. (The local Library, a govt. run institution no less.) Parents of Autistic kids get passed up for promotions because they don’t stay late like other people.

It’s discrimination to not promote employees who expect to work fewer hours than other employees?
