Taking/Referring To Notes during CB Interview Forum

It's fine as long as you clarify beforehand that you suffer from mild autism.

As long as it's just a quick glance, I think it's fine. If the vast majority of the time, you are looking at the interviewer and then, every once in a while you look at your notes, I don't think anyone cares. Don't take notes though.

Just don't be awkward.

I've been on quite a few interviews and have never encountered a moment where it seemed natural to look at my notes for a second.

Don't do it. You will have a minute or two between interviewers--what I generally do is to tape my interviewers' names and questions inside my portfolio. If I can't remember who the next person is or what questions I want to ask, I sneak a very quick glance at it between interviews (just quickly opening my binder, and shutting it again; usually when the interviewer is in front of me, leading me to the next person). Definitely not during an interview, though.

And even that only works if you're not being picked up by your next interviewer.

I suppose so. Actually, I have never been picked up by the next interviewer. I am always led to the next one by the previous one.
