The article quotes research which suggests women do better working with people and men do better working with things.
AI and automation will take over the jobs involving things. A quick google search for jobs most likely to be automated https://www.google.com.au/search?q=jobs+most+likely+to+be+automated&oq=most+likely+to+be+automat&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l3.6998j0j7&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com.au/search?q=jobs+most+likely+to+be+au... reveals that people focused jobs are safe.

I have Asperger's (now known as high functioning autism) and also work as an engineer in a prestigious company. For me, the tech workplace is a pre made social environment that's easy for me to process. Everyone has their role and I can predict what people will do next. I don't do alot of socialising outside of work, but I am married.

Im hypersensitive to noise, including office noise, so I use noise cancelling headphones all day. Playing music without words, because I find music with words to be too stimulating.
