Apart from the absolutely obvious (like pee on the floor or insist on doing it stood on your head or something)
I would say the main bad things are: not making eye contact (you don't have to stare at them, but don't do the whole thing staring at your feet), answering "I don't know" to any of the questions (at least explain why you don't know), swearing (careful with that, if you;re anything like me, stuff just pops out!), lying (you always get caught out) and not asking any questions of your own (if you really can't think of any say "I did have some but we seem to have covered all those in the course of the interview." Just saying "No, not really." makes you sound like you don't care.)

People with forms of Autism have trouble with eye contact. How will they ever find a job?
by Running, Fall Up on June 18th, 2009
eye contact is realy important , a way showing your respect, if necessary showing your lovely smile..
by Amare bin on July 21st, 2009
and if you dont have a lovely smile... divert them to one of your other areas that isnt so bad

if you have autism and cant make eye contact or feel uncomfortable you should tell the interviewer but also draw upon other positive aspects at the same time
