Weird argument. Is the author trying to imply all people with Aspergers are good high-tech workers?

There might be some correlation.

Very weird argument. It seems more of an argument to work to bring Aspergers into the workforce.

It is an X post, labeled as Twitter. Thus, it should be believed without question.

How many have part time jobs, and live with a care giver? I think it’s a straw man argument.

There are a fair amount of potentially successfully young American tech workers right on the cusp of that Venn diagram. There are also those Asperger's who venture into the tech work world, give a company an ok 3-5 years as a (remote!) junior dev, and flake out right back into pure gig work. So many of those are lost to those gd games they play for days.
