The crazy part is that having autistic tendencies correlated to some level of being great at looking at realities and getting work done.
Makes me think I should start a company focusing on recruiting in that community.
You wouldn't be the first. In fact, along with certain foreign hires, I'll bet this is a play a lot of companies are keeping close to their chest.
Seems like there's a competitive advantage for some company to make room for people who are not neurotypical. Though I wonder what that would look like.
