Is it really? Half the developers I know are somewhere on the spectrum. Maybe the workforce needs to be more inclusive of normies…

  I think the fact that this field is skill based keeps them out. I've known a lot of kids who entered in our CS program thinking they'd get rich only to drop out or go into Info Sci cause CS was too hard...at a generic state school with some of the most lenient instructors. Frankly I think it's fine. It weeds out the sociopaths just in it to advance their careers seeing as they need to put in the effort. I've had a few jocks even try to mooch off me to basically give them answers.

    Yikes. Non-autistic people (“jocks”) aren’t smart enough for computer science? People paying attention to their careers are sociopaths?

      None of what I said comes remotely close to your way of putting words in my mouth.
