I think the article posits that the cognitive style of autistic people have gotten is a pathology, and within that, there is additional groups of communication style. A well read person doesn't normally devolve into references to culture often unless they are bored and want to make a game of it The article's perspective partially excuses a person who otherwise would have intense anxiety about communicating because they are not "normal" and are generally considered awkward. The burden of communication is similar to the burden that an "intense introvert" would describe how "i like your company, but only in doses". With the label of weaver, this weaver communicator person could seek friends who think with a similar thinking style opposed to trying and failing and learning helplessness when it comes to friendships. Career wise, this label allows a weaver to pursue a path that doesn't involve sales where making a point and the "constant close" is highly valued. To people who have intense social anxiety or a neurodivergent pathology where many peers are unable to hold a job. The idea that children/adults with this label can be steered to areas where they can easily excel is a very good thing.
