>Would I be an autist if I laminated my resume for an in-person interview
i would argue this is the total opposite of autistic. laminating things that dont need to be laminated is brain dead normie behaviour. normies fucking love laminators and i am too autistic to know or care why.

just before and during coof there was some weird ironic hr roastie fixation on print quality of resumes (staples.com briefly had a section JUST for "resume paper"!) but that has thankfully died and now no one cares. if you're worried about the interviewer being too stupid to have their own copy of the resume you sent, simply ask first if there's anything they want you to bring (this will also avoid other gotchas, like if they want a paper copy of some cert or need a specific form of ID or something.) and if all else fails, bring your laptop or at least your phone and just display your resume on that.

if they DO ask you to bring paper copies of stuff, though, yeah pick up a nice folder. you can get sick ass bifold clipboards at any dollar store. picrel. theyre great

a laminated resume would be incredibly strange though and deeply inappropriate even if purely for logistical/ergonomic reasons; people tend to like to make notes directly on such disposable documents and laminating it prevents that. and laminated documents just feel gross to the touch, can't be folded without ruining them, do badly in cheap scanners, tend to jam giant office xerox boxes with auto-feed, etc. lamination is for shit like passive-aggressive signage or quick reference cards, little more
