I'm not sure I understand what problem you mentioned you see here. I think most people know social difficulties are associated with ASD. What constructive additions would you add to the article, beyond just "these people will never be good managers" or other such unfortunate stereotypes? Also FYI your implication that aspergers etc. limits collaborative ability is wrong. The only difference, in my case, is a lack of small talk, fluff, and emotional context. While this may impact promotions in workplaces where politics trumps technical ability, for many people it does not impact ability to communicate eloquently and collaborate efficiently. In fact co-workers who know me well especially enjoy brainstorming with me, I've been told, because you can't offend me by shooting down my ideas, suggesting scrapping entire lines of work, etc. (this is one positive benefit in my particular case of aspergers). Conversely though, it takes a lot of effort for me to constantly remember how sensitive and attached people can be to their ideas. This requires a careful effort to walk on eggshells when pointing out bad designs, dangerous code, etc., but generally is not a problem as long as I formulate a good social protocol for such situations.
