Sadly a lot of that isn't necessarily about ability to work, but ability to get through a job interview.
The whole interview process is going to weed out the candidates who aren't as sociable, outgoing, charismatic, etc. They are going to look at body language and eye contact while doing small talk. A lot of soft skills like that are more important to pass a job interview than actual technical knowledge. Even when the job has no customer facing requirements.
They also tend to not have the connections that get your foot in the door.
It's bias in an interview process that isn't designed with autism in mind. Many who have high IQ with attention to detail, technical skills and are hard workers are still unable to get a job offer because they come off as disinterested or awkward.
Yeah it's like Reddit where anyone can answer a question. Sometimes it's good sometimes it's terrible. I have been using it more lately to supplement Lemmy when I need to look up a Reddit type of question. If you need facts not opinion then I just use Wikipedia or official sources for that.
