Because an autistic person can be an amazing programmer? As could a blind person, a deaf person, etc...
Simple accommodations can be made if needed and then there's no need to exclude people on old-fashioned prejudice.

maybe there is a company where being an amazing programmer is enough. I worked with capable depressed programmer who never delivers and is too shy to delegate anything, capable psycho programmer who no one wants to work with, bad programmer who works crazy hours, carries the project and interacts nicely with customers when needed. The last one was probably the most valuable
I mean... that's what the title and context of the discussion thread is all about?
