Please, explain how you determined this person was an "extremely smart autist".

  I took it as a compliment!

    I find it hard to believe that saying autistic people are "incredibly hard to manage", that managing them is like "herding cats" and their presence is a "huge liability to the org" is anywhere near complimentary. Autism presents in thousands of ways, and the portrayal is, at best, caricatural.

      Okay dude, don't need to white knight autists. There's a particular archetype of extremely intelligent and technical yet socially unaware or prickly people that's not unfounded in reality. These are the people who do incredible feats. You need a degree of unagreeableness and arrogance to go against the grain and accomplish great things. It's a thing, I assure you. And it's pretty common parlance in online / technical culture. We don't need to word police this thing.
